Packard Bell Bolos Motherboard

Motherboard Overview

The Packard Bell Bolos Motherboard is designed for Socket A processors, supporting AMD Duron and Athlon CPUs.

The motherboard features an AMD 761 Northbridge controller and a VIA 686B Southbridge controller.

Visual Description: The motherboard displays a Socket A CPU socket centrally located. To its right are two DDR DIMM slots. Below the CPU socket are the AMD Northbridge and VIA Southbridge chipsets. Various connectors such as IDE, floppy, and SATA ports are visible. Expansion slots include PCI and an AGP slot. Configuration jumpers are also present.

Specifications

• BIOS: AMI
• Chipset: AMD 761 Northbridge controller, VIA 686B Southbridge controller.
• CPU Support: Socket A. Supports AMD Duron and Athlon processors at 1 to 1.4 GHz. AMD processors utilize a "double pump" feature, effectively doubling the data bandwidth to 200 or 266 MHz, often referred to as 200/266 MHz host bus speed instead of the actual 100/133 MHz host bus speed. Higher numbers indicate effective data bandwidth. Processors supporting 100/133 MHz (200/266 MHz effective) host bus speed are supported on motherboards revision 700 and higher. Earlier revisions shipped with a 100 MHz host bus speed processor, with jumper J51 set to 'open' by default. Revisions 700 and above set jumper J51 according to the processor requirements.
• Form Factor: ATX (230 x 305 mm)
• RAM Support:
  • Supports 2 memory slots compatible with SDRAM DDR memory modules.
  • Data bus frequency: 200 MHz / 266 MHz.
  • ECC memory checking is supported.
  • Maximum memory supported: 1 GB.
  • DDR memory modules PC200 (PC1600) and PC266 (PC2100) are supported.
  • DRAM support: 32/64/128/256/512 MB.
