ASUS A7VL-VM User’s Manual
2.1 The ASUS A7VL-VM
The ASUS A7VL-VM motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC
user who wants advanced features processed by the fastest processors.
2.1.1 Specifications
• AMD Athlon™/Duron™ Processor Support: Supports Socket A-based AMD
Athlon™/Duron™ processors.
• North Bridge System Chipset: Features the VIA VT8364 (ProSavage
KL133)
system controller with support for 200 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); up to 1.5GB
of PC133/PC100 / VC133 Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) SDRAM; complies
with integrated AGP 2.0 specifications for 4X, 2X, and 1X AGP modes; and
PCI 2.2. bus interface with support for 5 PCI masters. It is optimized to deliver
enhanced AMD Athlon™/Duron™ processor system performance.
• “Super South” South Bridge System PCIset: VIA VT82C686B PCI chipset
with a PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral Controller (PSIPC) supporting
UltraDMA/100, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to 100MB/
sec; AC97 audio; USB controller with root hub and four function ports.
• PC133 SDRAM / VC133 VCM Support: Equipped with two Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets to support Intel PC100-compliant (8, 16, 32,
64, 128, 256, or 512MB) or NEC’s VC100-compliant Virtual Channel (VC)
SDRAM up to 1GB. VC SDRAM is a new DRAM core architecture that dra-
matically improves the memory system’s ability to service, among others, high
multimedia requirements.
• JumperFree™ Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of
frequency and Vcore voltage all through BIOS setup when JumperFree™ mode
is enabled. Easy-to-use DIP switches instead of jumpers are included to allow
manual adjustment of the processor’s external frequency.
• UltraDMA/100 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE
controller with two connectors that support four ATA100/66/33 devices on two
channels. Supports UltraDMA/100, UltraDMA/66, UltraDMA/33, PIO Modes
3 & 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 2, and Enhanced IDE devices, such as
DVD-ROM, CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, LS-120, and Tape Backup drives.
• Wake-On-LAN Connector: Supports Wake-On-LAN activity through an
optional onboard Realtek Fast Ethernet Controller or an optional ASUS PCI-
L101 10/100 Fast Ethernet PCI card (see 7. Appendix).
• Wake-On-Ring Connector: Supports Wake-On-Ring activity through a PCI
modem card that supports a WOR connector.
• USB: Supports up to 4 USB ports, two on the back panel and two midboard, for
more peripheral connectivity options.
