AthlonTM Processors

The AMD AthlonTM is a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integrated

L2 cache, which is powerful enough to support the bandwidth requirements of a

large range of applications, hardware, graphics, and memory technologies. These

processors implement advanced design techniques such as:

 Socket A (PGA 462)

200/266/333MHz system interface based on the Alpha™ EV6 bus protocol.

 Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined Multimedia Units.

 Three out-of-order, superscaler, pipelined Integer Units.

 Fixed-sized internal instruction formats (MacroOPs).

 72-entry Instruction Control Units.

 AMD enhanced 3DNow!™ technology

 L1 and L2 caches.

 Dynamic branch prediction.

Socket A is the name for AMD’s new socketed interface designed to support AMD

AthlonTM processors. This innovation is made possible by integrating the L2 cache

memory on chip with the processor. Socket A will help enable smaller enclosures,

and ultimately result in a wider variety of solutions in the market.

The AthlonTM processors in the Socket A format continue to deliver the ultimate

performance for cutting-edge applications. They bring to desktop systems running

industry-standard x86 software superscalar RISC performance. Being provided in

the Socket A format they are the world’s most powerful x86 processors. They easily

deliver the highest integer, floating-point, and 3D multimedia performance for

applications running on x86 platforms around.

It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200/266/333MHz front side system

bus, and enhanced 3DNow!™ technology. The AMD AthlonTM processor is

targeted at the performance segment, and as such will have more cache memory and

higher clock speeds.

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP)

The AGP slot on the board is compliant with the new AGP 3.0 specification. This

new specification enhances the functionality of the original AGP specification by

allowing 8X data transfers ( 8 data samples per clock) resulting in maximum band-

width of 2.1GB/s. In addition, it defines 1.5 volt power supply operation. Complying

with this specification, this board supports external AGP-8X/4X cards with Fast

Write Transactions. Only 1.5V AGP cards are supported.

Ultra ATA/66/100/133

This mainboard provides two independent ATA133 IDE controllers, supporting

standard programmable input/output (PIO) and Direct Memory Access (DMA)

mode operations, as well as UltraDMA-133/100/66/33 standards for a maximum data

transfer rate of 133MB/sec per channel.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring enables you to monitor various aspects of the system operation

and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and fan speed in RPMs.

LAN (Optional)

This mainboard is optionally mounted with a LAN chipset. It allows the mainboard to

connect to a local area network by means of a network hub.

Serial ATA

The evolutionary serial ATA interface replaces the standard parallel ATA physical

storage interface. The serial ATA specification provides scalability and allows

future enhancements to the computing platform. Serial technology overcomes

performance limits of parallel interface architecture, meeting the escalating need for

faster data throughput in servers and storage devices.

Serial ATA is completely software compatible with parallel ATA, requiring no

modification to your operating system. The serial ATA interface cable requires lower

voltages and uses smaller cable connectors, providing ease of installation. You can

easily upgrade storage devices that are compatible with the serial ATA interface

specification.

Mainboard Form-Factor

This board is designed with ATX form factor - the latest industry standard for

chassis design. The ATX form factor is essentially a Baby-AT baseboard rotated

90 degrees within the chassis enclosure and a new mounting configuration for

the power supply. With these changes the processor is relocated away from the

expansion slots, allowing them all to hold full length add-in cards. ATX defines a

double height aperture to the rear of the chassis which can be used to host a

wide range of onboard I/O. Only the size and position of this aperture is defined,

allowing PC manufacturers to add new I/O features (e.g.; TV input, TV output,

joystick, modem, LAN, audio, etc.) to systems. This will help systems integrators

differentiate their products in the marketplace, and better meet your needs.

• By integrating more I/O down onto the board and better positioning the hard

drive and floppy connectors, material cost of cables and add-in cards are

reduced.

• By reducing the number of cables and components in the system, manufac-

turing time and inventory holding costs are reduced and reliability will

increase.

• By using an optimized power supply, it's possible to reduce cooling costs

and lower acoustical noise. An ATX power supply, which has a side-

mounted fan, allows direct cooling of the processor and add-in cards making

a secondary fan or active heatsink unnecessary in most system applications.

Power-On/Off (Remote)

This board has a 20-pin ATX power supply connector (Figure 4). For power

supplies that support the Remote On/Off feature, this should be connected to the

mainboard front panel PW_ON connector for the computer power On/Off button.

This board has been designed with “Soft Off" function. You can turn off the system

in two ways: by pressing the front panel power On/Off button or using the "Soft

Off" function that can be controlled by an operating system such as Windows®XP/

ME/2000/98.

Note: For maintaining the DDR SDRAM power during STR (ACPI S3) function, it is

strongly recommended to use power supplies that have a +5VSB current of (>

=) 2A. Please check the 5VSB’s specification printed on the power supply’s

outer case.

Note: The board requires a minimum of 250 Watt power supply to operate. Your

system configuration (amount of memory, add-in cards, peripherals, etc.) may

exceed this minimum power requirement. To ensure that adequate power is

provided, use a 300 Watt (or higher) power supply.

I/O Shield Connector

The board is equipped with an I/O back panel (Figure 3). Ensure that your computer

case has the appropriate I/O cutout.
