A popular board due to its amount of slots. Supported CPUs are AMD Athlons. The FSB can be set to 90/95/100/105/110/115 MHz DDR and the PCI bus follows PCI 2.2. The EIDE ports support UDMA/66. The BIOS is from Award and a cell battery is used to buffer the CMOS.

It is known that the AMD750 based mainboards have sometimes stability problems with graphics cards running at AGP 2x. Since this depends on the interplay between the card and the board this has to be tested individually.
