Processor The mainboard uses an AMD 462-pin Socket A that has the
following features:
• Supports 200/266 MHz frontside bus (FSB)
• Accommodates AMD Athlon Duron, Athlon, and Athlon XP
processors.
Chipset The chipset on L7VMM includes the VT8375 Northbridge and
VT8233A Southbridge which are based on an innovative and
scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance. A
few of the chipset’s advanced features are:
• An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture that
provides the bandwidth and performance necessary for
even the most demanding Internet and 3D graphics
• Support for a 4xAGP interface providing vivid 3D graphics
and video performance
• An ATA 133 interface on the VT8233A chipset, which
helps boost system performance by providing a high-
speed connection to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, deliver-
ing maximum sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec
Additional features include support for four USB ports, an AC
97 link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring, and
ACPI/OnNow power management.
Memory The mainboard accommodates DDR200/266 DDR SDRAM (Dou-
ble Data Rate Synchronous DRAM) up to 2 GB using two 2.5V
unbuffered DIMM modules.
USB USB 1.1
The VT8233A Southbridge chipset features the USB 1.1 speci-
fication which can support for four USB ports.
However, if the mainboard comes with VIA VT6202, then the
mainboard supports the USB 2.0 specification.
USB 2.0 (optional)
The VIA VT6202 PCI USB 2.0 Controller is compliant with
Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.
The USB 2.0 supports data transfer rates up to 480MB/sec for
high-speed devices and specifies a microframe that will be
1/8th of a 1msec frame. This allows the USB 2.0 devices to
have small buffers even at high data rates.
The USB 1.1 connectors and other full speed cables can sup-
port the higher speed of USB 2.0 without any changes.
The chipset has the following advanced USB features:
• Compliant with Enhanced Host Controller Interface
(EHCI) Specification Revision 0.95 and Universal Host
Controller Interface (UHCI) Specification Revision 1.1
• PCI multi-function device consists of two UHCI Host Control-
lers for full/low-speed signaling and one EHCI Host
• Controller core for high-speed signaling
• Supports PCI-Bus Power Management Interface Specifi-
cation release 1.1
• Legacy support for all downstream facing ports
