Memory
The MK73LE-N / MK73LE-V supports both PC100 and PC133 SDRAM, which allows zero wait state bursting between the
DRAM and the data buffers at 100/133MHz. The two banks of DIMM slots can be composed of an arbitrary mixture of
8M/16M/32M/64M/128M/256M/512M DRAMs. The DRAM controller can run at either the host CPU bus frequency (100/133MHz)
or pseudo-synchronous to the CPU bus frequency.
Onboard Trident Blade3D Graphics Engine
This motherboard integrates the rich AGP graphics capabilities of the Trident Blade3D graphics engine, which provides full AGP
2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 1X/2X/4X mode transfers, SBA (Side Band Addressing), Flush/Fence
commands, and pipelined grants. The AGP 4X specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The
AGP 4X video cards support data transfer rates up to 533MB/s.
Ultra ATA 33/66/100 Enhanced IDE
Ultra ATA/100 is the latest version of the ATA hard drive data transfer protocol. This motherboard comes with an on-board PCI
Bus Master IDE controller with two connectors that supports four IDE devices in two channels, supports Ultra ATA 33/66/100,
PIO Modes 3 and 4 and Bus Master IDE DMA Mode 4, and supports Enhanced IDE devices.
On-board AC97 Sound
12
This motherboard uses AC97 sound chip which includes the complete capability of audio recording and playback system.
