2.1.1 Specifications
Latest Intel Processor Support
Pentium
®
III 100/133MHz FSB FC-PGA
Celeron 66MHz FSB FC-PGA
North Bridge System Chipset: The Intel
®
815E chipset supports a 66/100/133
Front Side Bus (FSB), up to 512MB of PC100/PC133 SDRAM, and AGP Pro/
4X mode, which can transport twice the amount of data compared to the current
AGP standard.
South Bridge System Chipset: The Intel I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2) features
support for UltraDMA/100, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to
100MB/sec; two USB controllers for a total of 4 USB ports; and six channel
AC97 CODEC support.
Intel
®
Accelerated Hub Architecture: Features a dedicated high speed hub
link between the ICH2 and GMCH with a bandwidth of 266MB/sec twice the
maximum bandwidth of the PCI bus.
PC100/PC133 Memory Support: Equipped with three Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets to support PC100/PC133-compliant SDRAMs (avail-
able in 64, 128, 256, 512MB densities) up to 512MB.
Integrated Graphics! The 24-bit 230MHz RAMDAC graphics controller sup-
ports 3D hyper pipelined architecture, parallel data processing and compres-
sion, precise pixel interpolation, full 2D hardware acceleration, and motion video
acceleration. This integrated graphics controller can be disabled to support an
external AGP or PCI graphics card.
AGP Pro Slot: Comes with an Accelerated Graphics Port Pro slot that supports
AGP cards for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D
graphical applications using a 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus. Backward compatible
to support AGP 4X and AGP 2X. This slot can also support an AGP Inline
Memory Module (AIMM) for up to 4MB of 133MHz SDRAM display cache.
UltraDMA33/66/100 Support: Comes with an onboard PCI Bus Master IDE
controller with two connectors that support four IDE 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-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring, Keyboard
Wake-Up, and BIOS Wake-Up.
JumperFree Mode: Allows processor settings and easy overclocking of fre-
quency 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 processors external frequency.
