AthlonTM Processors

The AMD AthlonTM is a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integrated

L2 cache, which is powerful enough to support the bandwidth requirements of a

large range of applications, hardware, graphics, and memory technologies. These

processors implement advanced design techniques such as:

Socket A (PGA 462

200/266/333/400MHz system interface based on the Alpha EV6 bus protocol.

Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined Multimedia Units.

Three out-of-order, superscaler, pipelined Integer Units.

Fixed-sized internal instruction formats (MacroOPs .

72-entry Instruction Control Units.

AMD enhanced 3DNow! technology

L1 and L2 caches.

Dynamic branch prediction.

Socket A is the name for AMDs new socketed interface designed to support AMD

AthlonTM processors. This innovation is made possible by integrating the L2 cache

memory on chip with the processor. Socket A will help enable smaller enclosures,

and ultimately result in a wider variety of solutions in the market.

The AthlonTM processors in the Socket A format continue to deliver the ultimate

performance for cutting-edge applications. They bring to desktop systems running

industry-standard x86 software superscalar RISC performance. Being provided in

the Socket A format they are the worlds most powerful x86 processors. They easily

deliver the highest integer, floating-point, and 3D multimedia performance for

applications running on x86 platforms around.

It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 200/266/333/400MHz front side

system bus, and enhanced 3DNow! technology. The AMD AthlonTM processor is

targeted at the performance segment, and as such will have more cache memory and

higher clock speeds.

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 a 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.

IEEE1394 (Optional)

IEEE 1394 is a high-speed serial bus developed by Apple that allows users to

connect up to 63 devices to the serial bus on a PC. IEEE is sometimes called the

IEEE 1394 standard, the i.Link connector, FireWire, and the High Performance Serial

Bus (HPSB .

IEEE 1394 provides transfer rates up to 400Mbits/sec. IEEE 1394 provides enhanced

PC connectivity for consumer electronics audio/video (A/V appliances, storage

peripherals, portable devices such as digital cameras, and inter-PC communications.

IEEE 1394 supports hot swapping, multiple speeds on the same bus, and isochro-

nous data transfer providing much needed bandwidth for multimedia operations.
