News: Iwill presenta K7S2

[Staff]

<br>IWill annuncia la disponibilità della nuova scheda madre K7S2 basata sul nuovo e performante chipset di SiS: il 746FX. <br>Naturalmente ha supporto FSB333, AGP8X e DDR400.<p>Questo l'annuncio ufficiale:<p>
<blockquote><i>Jan 24th, 2003, Taipei, Taiwan-High-end solution provider, IWILL Corp. launched latest SocketA motherboard, K7S2 for AMD platform. K7S2 is based on SiS746FX chipset and featured with several features such as 333MHz FSB, DDR 400 and AGP8X. <br> <br>

Supports AMD K7 processors at 333MHZ FSB <br>
By moving to a 333MHz FSB, bandwidth to the processor increases from 2.1GB/sec to 2.7GB/sec, a 22% increase in AMD platform. Powered by SiS 746FX chipset, IWILL K7S2 with improved bandwidth enables the incredible performance potential of the AMD processor to be realized from AMD Athlon XP2700+ or higher. Also IWILL K7S2 would supports next generation AMD processors to provide users expandability in the future. <br><br>

DDR400 (PC3200) delivers you extreme speed for data transfer <br>
IWILL K7S2 supports DDR400, which gives you 3.2GB/s of data transfer rate; therefore it's also called PC3200. The memory configurations make the platform an ideal choice for memory-intensive applications. DDR400 brings higher speed to keep up with advanced processors and graphics chips. Some memory-intensive application could run more smoothly and users could get higher performance. <br><br>

AGP8X offers excellent experience in graphics <br>
SiS 746FX based motherboards is also an AMD platform with AGP 8X. IWILL K7S2 equipped with AGP8X satisfies user's demand of fast graphics through great bandwidth up to 2.1 GB/s. This technology breakthrough enables IWILL K7S2 to be a good choice in computer games or 3D application and ensure faster and better performance. <br><br>

Fast ATA133 speed up your storage system <br>
Moreover, IWILL K7S2 integrates the Ultra ATA133 interface that gives users the performance they are looking for in today's rapidly emerging consumer applications. ATA133 offers higher data speed that is 33% faster than ATA100 to benefit users who need better storage system. <br><br>

Network connecting through onboard LAN <br>
IWILL K7S2 is featured with 10/100 Ethernet to fulfill today's basic Internet demand. As networking function is almost a standard to PC nowadays, IWILL K7S2 is the best solution for home users to transfer data through Internet and lets you enjoy the Internet and connect to the networking world. <br><br>

Easy to use digital devices via USB2.0 <br>
USB2.0 interface allows hot-plug devices and therefore it's easier to add extra devices such as storage or multimedia processing devices into the system. Besides the new USB 2.0 interface provides as high as 480 Mbps of data transfer speed which 40 times faster than previous USB1.1. IWILL K7S2 supports up to 6 USB 2.0 ports (4 external ports) for users to use and enjoy digital devices more easily. <br><br>

MicroStepping lets you enjoy overclocking <br>
Nowadays more and more users overclock their computers. To satisfy these overclockers, IWILL K7S2 is integrated with IWILL MicroStepping Technology to create an innovative and scalable architecture with proven reliability and performance. In BIOS, FSB could be increased in 1MHz steps. Also memory voltage and core CPU voltage can be adjusted to make the system more stable and reliable. In addition, AGP/PCI frequency can be fixed in 66MHz/33MHz modes to make system still stable when overclocking. <br><br>
