This is one really nice ATX
motherboard! Look at the size of it. It's huge! Anyway this
motherboard is manufactured by FIC. A real good motherboard manufacturer. This
motherboard supports a 100MHz bus which is real good if you plan on buying a Pentium II
running at 350Mhz or greater. This feature will significantly speed up
productivity. It allows faster communication between the CPU and other devices such
as RAM and AGP cards. This motherboard also contains 5 PCI expansion slots, 3 ISA
expansion slots, and 1 AGP expansion slot. It doesn't get any better than
this. If you are going to be installing a lot of expansion cards, this is definitely
the card for you. The ATX style of this motherboard allows all the expansion cards
to be full size. Since the processor does not get in the way. That is the main
advantage of an ATX motherboard. Also, the AGP (Advanced Graphics Port) slot is
great for those real nice 3D video cards. This AGP slot takes more advantage of the
video card since it can communicate with the cpu a lot faster. This motherboard is
great for the office applications and for the complex 3D graphic games.
This motherboard supports up to 1 gigabyte of RAM.
That is definitely more than any application today or in the near future will ever
require. But i guess it's a pretty nice feature but probably wont do any good for
you over another motherboard which can support only 512 megabytes. But one thing
that will really effect you is the 1 megabyte of Level 2 cache. That is a nice large
amount of cache which will run your Pentium II as smooth as possible. This is
definitely one of the best Slot 1 motherboards out there today.
Price: rather expensive
