Technical Details for Elitegroup PM800-M2 V1.0

Elitegroup PM800-M2 V1.0 ... form factor, this motherboard incorporates the following chipsets: PM800 Northbridge and VT8237 Southbridge chipsets. This motherboard provides the 800/533/400 MHz front side bus with extra capability.

The PM800 Northbridge provides a high performance, cost-effective and energy efficient UMA chipset north bridge with embedded UniChromePro graphics core used for the implementation of desktop personal computer systems. The PM800 implements twelve-level deep In-Order-Queue, and supports Intel Hyper-Threading Technology to maximize system performance for multi-threaded software applications. The PM800 supports asynchronous AGP and CPU interface for flexible system configuration. The Northbridge interfaces to the Southbridge through a high speed 8 x 66 MHz Data Transfer interconnect bus, Ultra V-Link.

The VT8237 Southbridge is a highly integrated peripheral controller, it includes V-Link to PCI and V-Link to LPC controllers. It also integrates Serial ATA and Ultra DMA IDE controllers, USB2.0 host controller, 10/100MB networking MAC, AC'97, and system power management controllers. The VT8237 also supports both ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) and legacy (APM) power management.

Sufficient expansion is provided for one AGP slot, three 32-bit PCI slots and one optional CNR slot. It also comes with a concurrent PCI Bus Controller that provides expandability for add-on peripheral cards. This motherboard is designed in a micro-ATX form factor using a four-layer printed circuit board and measures 244 mm x 244 mm. In addition to its excellent performance, the motherboard is featuring a host of high-definition digital media technologies.
