msi ms-6540 rev 3.0 ver 300
Technical Specifications
Technical Summary
The MSI MS-6540 revision 3.0 motherboard, dated November 4, 2003, is built around the Intel Socket 478 CPU platform with a FSB of 400/533/800 MHz. The system chipset consists of a SIS661FX Northbridge paired with a SIS963L-C1 Southbridge. Memory architecture supports DDR memory via two DDR DIMM slots. Graphics are handled by an onboard VGA solution supporting AGP 4X/8X, with an additional AGP 3.0 slot available. The board utilizes a W83697HF Super I/O and EC/KBC controller, a REALTEK ALC655 audio codec, and a Realtek 8201BL MII LAN PHY. Storage is provided through two IDE connectors supporting UltraDMA33/66/100/133. Expansion includes three PCI 2.2 slots and one CNR slot. Power delivery is managed by a VRM 10.0 design. The board features an ISA Flash ROM for BIOS storage.
