Processor slot/socket - the slot or socket used to mount the system processor on the motherboard. Slot (AGP, PCI, ISA, RAM) - the slots used to mount adapter cards and system RAM.
Front Side Bus Frequency - the working frequency of the motherboard, which is generated by the clock generator for CPU, DRAM and PCI BUS. CPU L2 Cache - the flash memory inside the CPU, normally Athlon CPU has 256K or above, while Duron will have 64K.
2-4 Install Memory This motherboard provides three 168-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM) sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum memory size of 3.0GB SDR SDRAM. Valid Memory Configurations Bank 168-Pin DIMM Total Memory Bank 0, 1 (DIMM1) PC133 SDR SDRAM Module X1 64MB∼1.0GB Bank 2, 3 (DIMM2) PC133 SDR SDRAM Module X1 64MB∼1.0GB Bank 4, 5 (DIMM3) PC133 SDR SDRAM Module X1 64MB∼1.0GB Total System Memory (Max. 3.0GB) 3 64MB∼3.
WARNING! For the SDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only PC133compliant SDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if your SDR Modules are not PC133-compliant, set the SDR SDRAM clock to 100MHz to ensure system stability. 2-5 Expansion Cards WARNING! Turn off your power when adding or removing expansion cards or other system components.

2x notch 4x notch AGP SLOT Example 1: SiS 305 & ATi Rage 128 Pro AGP card those golden finger is compatible with 2X/4X mode AGP slot, but only can support 2X (3.3V) only. If you install these cards in Intel® 845 based motherboard it will burn and damage the motherboard. Example 2: We also find Dimanod Vipper V770 golden finger is design for 2X/4X mode AGP Slot. It can be adjusted the jumper for AGP 2X (3.3V) or AGP 4X (1.5V). But the factory default setting is 2X (3.3V).
This is a new defined 4-pins connector that usually comes with ATX Power Supply. The ATX Power Supply which fully support Pentium 4 processor must including this connector for support extra 12V voltage to maintain system power consumption. Without this connector might cause system unstable because the power supply can not provide sufficient current for system.

To operate the onboard parallel port as Standard Parallel Port only, choose “SPP.” To operate the onboard parallel port in the EPP modes simultaneously, choose “EPP.” By choosing “ECP”, the onboard parallel port will operate in ECP mode only. Choosing “ECP+EPP” will allow the onboard parallel port to support both the ECP and EPP modes simultaneously. The ECP mode has to use the DMA channel, so choose the onboard parallel port with the ECP feature.
