Introduction

Chapter 1 Specification

This mainboard features an integration of the powerful AMD proces-

sors Athlon/Athlon XP/Duron and the North Bridge VIA Apollo KT400

plus South Bridge VT8235, with which the whole system performance

supports 333/266/200 MHz system bus.

VIA Apollo KT400 plus VT8235 supports on-board AMD processors

to implement the 333/266/200MHz Front Side Bus, the AGP 8X/4X

interface, the LPC Super I/O, the DDR *400/333 MHz SDRAM, the 2-

channel AC’97 Audio interface, the USB 2.0 interface and ATA 133/100/

66 data transfer rate. This chapter is to introduce to users every ad-

vanced function of this high performance integration.

** If any difference is found between this manual and the Main-

board you are using, please look up the ERRATA/UPDATE Slip
