Onboard LED. This onboard LED lights up if there is a standby power on
the motherboard. This LED acts as a reminder to turn off the system power
before plugging or unplugging devices.
ATX power connector. This standard 20-pin connector connects to an
ATX 12V power supply. The power supply must have at least 1A on the
+5V standby lead (+5VSB).
CPU socket. This is a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket for AMD Athlon
XP™ processors.
Northbridge controller. The NVIDIA
®
nForce2™ IGP Northbridge
controller chip supports a 64/128-bit DDR memory controller and up to
2GB of 333/266/200MHz DDR memory . The Northbridge controller is
equipped with a maximum 128 MB integrated graphics UMA share memory
for the onboard VGA.
DDR DIMM sockets. Two Double Data Rate Dual Inline Memory Module
(DDR DIMM) sockets are available for up to 2 GB of DDR SDRAM. This
memory technology supplies data transfer rates up to 5.4 GB/s for
333MHz DDR SDRAM.
IDE connectors. These dual-channel bus master IDE connectors support
up to four UltraDMA133, PIO Modes 0-4 IDE devices. Both the primary
(blue) and secondary (black) connectors are slotted to prevent incorrect
insertion of the IDE cable.
Floppy disk connector. This connector is for the provided FDD cable for
the floppy disk drive. One side of the connector is slotted to prevent

supports a floppy disk drive, PS/2 keyboard, and PS/2 mouse.
Southbridge controller. This motherboard comes with the brand new
NVIDIA
®
nForce2™ MCP integrated peripheral Southbridge controller. This
controller communicates at 800 MB/s with the Northbridge chip for
maximum bandwith required to support PCI, USB, and Fast Ethernet
devices. The controller also supports standard UltraDMA133 and has
separate data paths for each IDE channel.
AGP slot. The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot supports 1.5 V
AGP 8X/4X mode graphics cards for 3D graphics applications. The AGP
slot also supports digital visual interface (DVI) cards for digital display on
LCD monitors and projectors.
