motheboard questions!
Hi
I am reading the spec of this motherboard (AsRock K7VM4) and I could not read anything related to the "system clock"!! I can see it is mentioned that this support AMD 333/266/200 FSB but what is the system clock of the board?? 2) Why most Motherboard specs do not mention anything about the "south bridge", only the north bridge?? is not south bridge important factor to decide the quality of the MB?? 3) This motherboard has a build in Video card, and it is mentioned that the video card support "64MB Max Shared memory". WHat does Max Shared memory mean?? sharing what and with whom?? http://www.asrockamerica.com/Products/K7VM4.htm thanks a lot for the help in advance. |

Well, as long as the mobo supports the cpu that you want, then it will have the correct 'system clock' settings for it. Normally the system clock is set automatically, depending on the cpu that is being used. 2) Why most Motherboard specs do not mention anything about the "south bridge", only the north bridge?? is not south bridge important factor to decide the quality of the MB?? Not sure. 3) This motherboard has a build in Video card, and it is mentioned that the video card support "64MB Max Shared memory". WHat does Max Shared memory mean?? sharing what and with whom?? Sharing with the amount of memory (RAM) that you put in the motherboard. So, if you put 256MB of memory on the board, up to 64Mb of that memory can be set aside (normally done in the BIOS) for use by the onboard graphics card. -- Peter Ives Remove ALL_STRESS only before sending me an email |
