Introduction

This mainboard has a slot-1 processor socket for an Intel

processor cartridge, and it also has a socket-370 for an Intel

PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) Celeron processor. You can

install either one of these processors according to the power and

performance requirements that you need from your system. Note

that you cannot install two processors on this mainboard.

Slot-1 processors include the SEPP (Single Edge Processor

Package) Celeron, t e Pentium-II, and t e Pentium-III. Clock

rates run as high as 550 MHz. Socket- 70 processors are the

PPGA Celeron which runs at clock rates up to 466 MHz. The

mainboard supports a system bus of 66 MHz or 100 MHz.

The mainboard uses the Xcel 2000 chipset which provides CPU

Plug & Play through firmware. The mainboard is highly integrated

and includes a built-in 64-bit AGP Grap ics Accelerator, a built-

in PCI 3D Sound System, and a built-in 10BaseT/100BaseTX

Network Adapter. A V.90 Fax/modem DAA module is also

shipped with the mainboard. In addition, it has a full set of ATX I/

O Ports including a serial port, one PS/2 ports, a parallel port and

two USB ports.

This mainboard has all the features you need to develop a powerful

multimedia workstation that is network ready, and has built-in

communications. The board is baby-AT sized and has power

connectors for ATX and AT power supply units and it can be

installed in AT system case.
