2. FEATURES

2.1 The K7M Motherboard

The K7M motherboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants

high-performance features in a small package.

2.1.1 Specifications

• AMD Athlon™ Processor Support: Supports AMD Athlon™ processor de-

signed for the AMD Athlon™ Processor Module (242-pin Slot A) and packaged

in a plastic ball-grid array (PBGA).

• North Bridge System Chipset: AMD-751™ chipset with AGP/PCI/Memory

controller supports a 200MHz Front Side Bus (FSB), supports up to 768MB of

PC-100 SDRAM DIMM, complies with AGP 2.0 specifications for 1X and 2X

AGP modes and PCI 2.2. bus interface with support for 6 PCI masters. It is

optimized to deliver enhanced AMD Athlon™ processor system performance.

• South Bridge System Chipset: VIA VT82C686A PCIset with PCI Super I/O

integrated peripheral controller supports UltraDMA/66, which allows burst mode

data transfer rates of up to 66.6MB/sec.

• Enhanced ACPI & Anti-Boot Virus BIOS: Programmable BIOS (Flash EEPROM),

offering enhanced ACPI for Windows 98 compatibility, built-in firmware-based vi-

rus protection, and autodetection of most devices for virtually automatic setup.

• PC100 Memory Support: Equipped with three DIMM sockets to support Intel

PC100-compliant SDRAMs (16, 32, 64, 128, or 256MB) up to 768MB.

• Thermal Sensor Connector with Optional Sensor: Accurately detects the CPU

temperature with the ASUS Smart Fan when connected to an ASUS P2T-Cable.

• Super Multi-I/O: Provides two high-speed UART compatible serial ports and

one parallel port with EPP and ECP capabilities.

• Expansion Slot Options: Provides either four 32-bit PCI 2.2 and two 16-bit ISA

expansion slots or 5 PCI and 1 ISA. PCI supports up to 133MB/sec maximum

throughput. Each PCI slot can support a Bus Master PCI card, such as a SCSI card.

• Desktop Management Interface (DMI): Supports DMI through BIOS, which

allows hardware to communicate within a standard protocol creating a higher

level of compatibility. (Requires DMI-enabled components.)

• Wake-Up Support: Supports Wake-On-LAN and Wake-On-Ring.

• AMR Slot: Audio Modem Riser (AMR) slot supports a very affordable audio

and/or modem riser card.

• AGP Slot: Supports an Accelerated Graphics Port card for high performance

component level interconnect targeted at 3D graphical display applications us-

ing a 1X or 2X mode bus.

• USB: Supports up to 4 USB ports, two on the back panel and two midboard

(optional), for more peripheral connectivity options.
