AthlonTM 64 Processor

The AMD AthlonTM 64 (ClawHammer processor family is designed to support

performance desktop. It provides a high performance HyperTransportTM link to I/O,

as well as a single 64-bit high-performance DDR memory controller. Main key

features such as:

AMD64 technology enables the industry to advance software development

on all fronts, with x86 compatibility, while providing the capability of deliver-

ing 64-bit technology benefits.

HyperTransport technology helps reduces the number of buses in a system,

which can reduces system bottlenecks and enable todays faster micropro-

cessors to use system memory more efficiently in high-end multiprocessor

systems.

The memory controller provides a programmable interface to a variety of

standard DDR SDRAM DIMM configuration.

For more information about all the new features AthlonTM 64 Processor deliver, check out

the AMD website at http://www amd com

Chipset Overview

The board is designed with VIA chipset, K8T800 as North Bridge and VT8237 as

South Bridge, providing a feature rich and scalable platform. The K8T800 North

Bridge is designed with an ultra fast HyperTransport link to the AthlonTM 64 and

comes equipped with AGP 8X features for VGA card expansion.

The K8T800 North Bridge connects to the VT8237 South Bridge through the fast

Ultra V-Link connection at 1.06GB/s. With support for two Serial ATA channels at

150MB/s bandwidth, integrated RAID (0, 1, 0+1 & JBOD capability as well as up to

eight USB 2.0 ports, the VT8237 offers the highest possible peripheral performance

for professional users. To extend flexibility to the system integrator, the VT8237

features dual channel Parallel ATA-133 allowing for configurations that leverage the

existing technology standard. Additional features include a VIA MAC for 10/

100Mbps Fast Ethernet, integrated PCI support.

Introduction

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 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.
