2-1. Features of SR7-8X Motherboard
The SR7-8X is designed for use with Intel’s latest generation of Pentium
®
4 (400/533 MHz FSB) 478
pins processors. Based on the new SiS 648 chipsets (SiS 648 & SiS 963), The SiS 648 Host, Memory and
AGP Controller integrates a high performance host interface for Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 processor, a high
performance memory controller, a AGP interface, and SiS MuTIOL 1G Technology connecting w/ SiS
963 MuTIOL 1G Media IO.
The SR7-8X can support external AGP slot with AGP 8X/4X capability and Fast Write Transactions. The
memory controller supports three DDR DIMMs for a maximum of up to 3 GB. It can offer bandwidth up
to 2.7 GB/s under DDR333 in order to sustain the bandwidth demand from host processor, as well as the
multi I/O masters and AGP masters.
The SR7-8X has integrateds Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Host Controllers, the Audio controller, the
ATA-133 IDE controllers, the high-speed host controller implements an EHCI interface that provides 480
Mb/s bandwidth for six USB 2.0 ports. Each of six USB ports can be automatically routed to support a
High-speed USB 2.0 devices or Low-speed USB 1.1 devices. The SR7-8X has integrated ATA-133 IDE
Master/Slave controller features Dual Independent IDE channels supporting PIO mode 0,1,2,3,4, and
Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 MB/s. It provides two separate data paths for the dual IDE channels that
sustain the high data transfer rate in the multitasking environment.
SR7-8X offers users a robust, high performance and low cost computing-platform. Moreover, on board
10/100 Mb LAN provides high speed networking capability, and built-in 2-channel audio delivers a
multimedia solution.
This motherboard also supports five PCI slots and one AGP slot. In addition, this motherboard gives users
enormous flexibility through ABIT’s SoftMenu
™
III with plenty clock frequency selections. The user is
able to alter both the FSB speed and the multiplier to get the CPU processing speed of your choice. This
motherboard has built-in hardware monitoring functions that monitors and protects your computer,
ensuring a safe computing environment.
