Introducing the Motherboard
Introduction
Thank you for choosing C7VCM2 motherboard of great performance and with enhanced
function. This motherboard has onboard C7 processor with a Mini-ITX form factor of 170
x 170 mm.
The motherboard integrates the VIA CN700 Northbridges and VT8237R Plus Southbridge.
The Northbridge supports a Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency of 400 MHz. The memory
controller supports DDR2 memory DIMM frequencies of 533/400. It supports one DDR2
Socket with up to maximum memory of 1 GB.
The VT8237R Plus Southbridge on this motherboard supports one PCI slot which is PCI 2.2
compliant. It implements eight USB ports with data transfers up to 480 Mb/s. Two onboard
IDE connectors support four IDE devices in Ultra ATA 133/100/66/33 mode. The southbridge
complies with Serial ATA Specification Revision 1.0 with transfer rate up to 1.5 Gb/s per
channel.
There is an advanced full set of I/O ports in the rear panel, including PS/2 ports for mouse
and keyboard, one serial ports, one parallel port, one VGA port, one optional LAN port,
four back-panel USB2.0 ports, and two audio jacks for microphone and line-out.
