Chapter 1. Introduction of WB6 Features

1-1.Features of This Motherboard

This motherboard is designed for a new generation CPUs. It supports the Intel SLOT1

structure (Pentium



II/III and Celeron



processors), up to 512 of memory, super I/O, and

Green PC functions. The motherboard provides high performance for server systems and

meets the requirements for desktop system for multimedia in the future.

The WB6 has a built in 2D & 3D graphics engines, and the integrated 24-bit 230MHz

RAMDAC can provide up to 1600*1200 resolution in 8-bit color at an 85Hz refresh rate.

The WB6 has 4MB SDRAM built in for graphic memory.

The WB6 uses the new generation Intel

810E chipset for more efficiency and high

integration of the system. The WB6 will support Ultra ATA/66 IDE devices. Ultra ATA/66 is

the new standard for IDE devices. It enhances existing Ultra ATA/33 technology by

increasing both performance and data integrity. This new high-speed interface doubles the

Ultra ATA/33 burst data transfer rate to 66.6 Mbytes/sec. The result is maximum disc

performance using the current PCI local bus environment. You can connect either Ultra

ATA/33 IDE devices or Ultra ATA/66 IDE devices to the IDE connectors on this

motherboard. The motherboard has built-in hardware monitoring functions, that can monitor

and protect your computer insuring a safe computing environment. The motherboard can

provide high performance for workstations and meets the requirements for desktop systems

for multimedia in the future.

What are the features of the Intel

810E chipset? It's structure is shown in Figure 1-4. It is a

combination of three chips: the FW82810E, FW82801AA and FW82802AB. The

FW82810E is called the GMCH chip,
