K7S6A mainboard is an
ATX mainboard that uses a 4-layer printed circuit board and measures 220
mm x 304 mm. The mainboard features a Socket 462 that accommodates AMDSiS®
Athlon/Duron processors supporting frontside bus (FSB) speeds up to 100/133
MHz. The K7S6A incorporates the SiSSiS®745
Northbridge and South-bridge chipsets which combine support for the new
high-bandwidth Double Data Rate (DDR) 333 SDRAM,
and the AC 97 audio codec.
Note: SDRAM provides 800 MB/s or
1 GB/s data transfer depending on whether the bus is 100 MHz or 133 MHz.
Double Data Rate SDRAM (DDR SDRAM) doubles the rate to 1.6 GB/s or 2.1 GB/s
or 2.7 GB/s by transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of
the clock. DDR SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires
184-pin DIMM modules rather than the 168-pin DIMMs used by SDRAM. |
