AthlonTM Processors

The AMD AthlonTM is a seventh-generation micro architecture with an integrated

L2 cache, which is powerful enough to support the bandwidth requirements of a

large range of applications, hardware, graphics, and memory technologies. These

processors implement advanced design techniques such as:

!"Socket A (PGA 462

!266/333/400MHz system interface based on the Alpha EV6 bus protocol.

!"Three out-of-order, superscalar, pipelined Multimedia Units.

!"Three out-of-order, superscaler, pipelined Integer Units.

!"Fixed-sized internal instruction formats (MacroOPs .

!"72-entry Instruction Control Units.

!"AMD enhanced 3DNow! technology

!"L1 and L2 caches.

!"Dynamic branch prediction.

Socket A is the name for AMDs new socketed interface designed to support AMD

AthlonTM processors. This innovation is made possible by integrating the L2 cache

memory on chip with the processor. Socket A will help enable smaller enclosures,

and ultimately result in a wider variety of solutions in the market.

The AthlonTM processors in the Socket A format continue to deliver the ultimate

performance for cutting-edge applications. Both bring to desktop systems running

industry-standard x86 software superscalar RISC performance. Being provided in

the Socket A format they are the worlds most powerful x86 processors. They easily

deliver the highest integer, floating-point, and 3D multimedia performance for

applications running on x86 platforms around.

It features full-speed, on-chip cache memory, a 266/333/400MHz front side system

bus, and enhanced 3DNow! technology. The AMD AthlonTM processor is

targeted at the performance segment, and as such will have more cache memory and

higher clock speeds.

Chipset Overview

This board is designed with nVidia chipset, nForce2TM SPP as North Bridge and

nForce2TM MCP as South Bridge. NVIDIA® has developed the next generation

System Platform Processor (SPP nForce 2, to provide the highest-

performance, fullest-featured system architecture for the AMD Athlon XP

Processor. The second generation System Platform Processor works together

with the second generation of the NVIDIA Media Communication Processor, the

MCP.

The nForce2 was architected specifically for the AMD AthlonXP Processor.

NVIDIAs patent-pending DASP (Dynamic Adaptive Speculative Pre-Processor

technology intelligently predicts and prefetches requests from the AMD Athlon

XP Processor to boost system performance beyond its nominal speed grade.

The nForce2 SPP delivers twice the bandwidth by implementing the new NVIDIA

DualDDR Memory Architecture speed to DDR 400 memories. This generation

System Platform Processor also implements the AGP 8× interface,

HyperTransport Link, and is fully compliant with industry standard power manage-

ment specifications such as ACPI 2.0 and PCI Power Management Interface (PMI

Spec 1.1.

The NVIDIA® nForce MCP Media and Communications Processor (MCP

provides a highly integrated, high-performance, low-cost PC2001-compliant

peripheral controller that supports NVIDIA processor bridge functionality for

next-generation PCs. No other single-device controller provides all the function-

ality of NVIDIAs MCP.

Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP or A.G.P.)

Typically, 3D graphics rendering requires a tremendous amount of memory, and

demands ever increasing throughput speed as well. As 3D products for the

personal computer become more and more popular, these demands will only

increase. This will cause a rise in costs for both end users and manufacturers.

Lowering these costs as well as improving performance is the primary motivation

behind AGP. By providing a massive increase in the bandwidth available between

the video card and the processor, it will assist in relieving some of these pressures

for quite sometime.

The board provides the AGP 3.0 interface. The AGP interface can support external

AGP slot (1.5V only with AGP 8X/4X and Fast Write Transactions. The AGP

Interface Specification revision 3.0 enhances the functionality of the original AGP

Interface Specification by allowing 8X data transfers (8 data samples per clock and

1.5 volt (Power supply operation. Supports Maximum AGP interface bandwidth 2.

1GB/s. (1.5 volt AGP Card supports only .

Ultra ATA/66/100/133

The MCP provides two independent ATA133 IDE controllers, supporting standard

programmable input/output (PIO and Direct Memory Access (DMA mode

operations, as well as UltraDMA-133/100/66/33 standards for a maximum data

transfer rate of 133MBps per channel.

LAN (Optional)

The motherboard mounts the LAN chipset. It allows the mainboard to connect to a

local area network by means of a network hub.

Hardware Monitoring

Hardware monitoring allows you to monitor various aspects of your system

operations and status. The features include CPU temperature, voltage and RPM of

fan.
