Introduction
Chapter 1 Specification
This series features an integration of the powerful AMD processors
Athlon/Athlon XP/Duron and the North Bridge nVIDIA nFORCE2 400
plus South Bridge nFORCE2 MCP, with which the whole system per-
formance supports 400/333/266/200MHz system bus.
nVIDIA nFORCE2 400 plus nFORCE2 MCP supports on-board AMD
processors to implement the 400/333/266/200 MHz Front Side Bus, the
AGP 8X/4X interface, the LPC Super I/O, the DDR 400/333/266 MHz
SDRAM, the 6-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 advanced 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
