Bluetooth 13 July 2004

Finished in brown, the most apparent blue colour heatsink is where the VIA K8T800pro chipset lies. On its left are 5 PCI and 1 AGP slot with the clkgen lying next to it. Behind the AGP slot, you can see the Gigabit ethernet chip. Behind the 4th PCI slot is the Realtek Codec. on the right are the both power connectors next to each other.

At the left hand bottom corner of the board, we see the VIA 1394 controller chip, uGuru chip, BIOS and South Bridge 8237. Noticed that this board does not come with additional controller chip for more SATA connectors, all the SATA and IDE functions are the responsibility of the 8237 south bridge. The IDE connectors are rotated 90 deg to vertical which is nice. On the right, you will see 4 DIMM slots supporting up to 4 GB running in Dual Channel DDR 400 mode. on the far right is the floppy connector.

On the back panel of the board, we see the standard connectors. 4 USB, 1 LAN, 1 1394 and S/PDIF can be found.
