The M Technology SY-5EMA3 AGP mainboard provides the latest enhancements in system board technology. Based on the ETEQ (VIA MVP3) PCI chipset, the board provides high PCI-to-memory bandwith for today's demanding applications. The SY-5EMA3 supports 1MB pipelined burst Level 2 cache. The SY-5EMA3 is the first M Technology Socket 7 ATX mainboard that support AGP slot with 100MHz FSB. Processor support ranges from the fastest Intel Pentium 233MHz down to the least expensive 75MHz units. The SY-5EMA3 also support Cyrix/IBM 6x86 150+ to 266+. For the AMD enthusiastic, the SY-5EMA3 is equipped with a 2.0V to 3.5V Voltage selector for AMD K6-2-266 to K6-2-333 with 3D now CPU. It also support the IDT C6 200MHz cpu.
