Introduction
The G586SP/G586SP AIO system board offers several
advanced features integrated into the system board. Its
design is based on the new Peripheral Component Intercon-
nect (PCI) local bus and Industry Standard Architecture
(ISA) standards.
The G586SP/G586SP AIO system board provides a 321-pin
Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) CPU socket for Pentium
TM
processors running at 75MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz, 120MHz,
133MHz or 150MHz frequencies. This ZIF socket allows
users to easily upgrade CPUs.
The difference between the G586SP and G586SP AIO is that
the G586SP AIO comes with a built-in video accelerator for
ultimate graphic displays. The VGA controller can display
graphic resolutions up to 1024 x 768, 256 colors, 75Hz at
1MB DRAM, and up to 1280x1024, 256 colors, 60Hz at
2MB DRAM. The built-in VGA function also supports video
playback, VESA DDC1 and DDC2B.
Both the G586SP and G586SP AIO are equipped with three
dedicated PCI slots, two dedicated ISA slots, and one shared
PCI/ISA slot. The board has two bus master PCI IDE con-
nectors. Bus mastering reduces CPU utilization during disk
transfer resulting more efficient use of CPU resources. The
system board is also equipped with two NS16C550A-compat-
ible serial ports, one SPP/ECP/EPP parallel port, one analog
VGA port (G586SP AIO model only), a floppy disk drive
controller, and one PS/2 keyboard or AT keyboard connector.
The board can support 2MB to 256MB of EDO or fast page
mode DRAM (x32 or x36, 60 or 70ns) using 72-pin SIMMs
(Single In-line Memory Module).
