Introduction
The motherboard is the main circuit board in your computer system. It controls all the parts of
your computer, including the Central Processing Unit (CPU), hard disk memory, disk drives,
power supply, casing controls and various external connectors.
Your BlasterPC is installed with the M011, the latest in Creative’s line of motherboards. A
high-performance model, the M011 is designed for the Intel®Celeron™and Pentium III
Socket-370 processor. The M011 also boasts the latest chipset — the Apollo Pro133A. This
chipset comes with 133 MHz architecture for the CPU and SDRAM. Together, these features
work to give you a speedy, reliable yet inexpensive desktop computer.
Upgrades and additions are easy with the M011. Its three Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM)
banks can support up to a total of 1.5 GB of SDRAM*, and its five PCI slots give you the choice
of installing additional functions on your BlasterPC. Also equipped with an Accelerated
Graphics Port (AGP) slot, the M011 supports graphics-intensive, 3D applications.
*subject to the availability of 512 MB DIMM modules
