Soyo erweitert die bekannte DRAGON Serie um ein Board mit VIA´s KT400 Chipsatz.
"D" - DDR400/333/266 Memory SOYO's new edition for its DRAGONTM series motherboard line utilizes VIA's KT400/8235 chipset and its many integrated features. One break through addition to the new SY-KT400 DRAGONTM Ultra is its DDR400 support, enabling AMD processors with 266 MHz FSB to achieve amazing CPU/memory bandwidth. The enhanced chipset solves bottlenecks created by increasing processor speeds, and improves the memory bandwidth by close to 20% to 3.2 GB/sec, versus DDR333's 2.7 GB/sec and DDR266's 2.1 GB/sec.
"R" - Serial ATA/Parallel ATA-133 IDE RAID (0,1,0+1) The SY-KT400 DRAGONTM Ultra offers high-speed optional serial IDE interfaces rated at 150 MB/sec. SOYO's optional serial ATA support allows for a more compact system design through its use of thin interconnects. The embedded HiPoint IDE RAID chip provides parallel ATA-133 IDE RAID at Level 0 (data striping), Level 1 (mirroring) and Level 0+1.
Addressing many of the limitations of parallel ATA, users can now take advantage of faster transfer speed, lower voltage, thinner cables and high pin efficiency offered by the new serial ATA transfer protocol. SOYO provides optional riser cards that connect between the motherboard and the hard drives (serial or parallel) for complete backward compatibility. The embedded Marvell chip in the riser cards converts parallel signals to serial without degradation in speed, and allows users to use both parallel and serial hard drives interchangeably.
"A" - 5.1 Digital Audio and 24-Bit SPDIF Audio Connector for Ultimate Audio Experience
Featuring an on-board CMedia 8738 audio chip, the SY-KT400 DRAGONTM Ultra provides 6-channel digital audio. The sound chip eliminates the need for a separate sound card, reduces cost and increases reliability. Also supported is the optical 24-bit digital audio output. SOYO bundled a SPDIF audio connector, which maintains the integrity of the digital signal and prevents signal degradation when converted to analog.
"G" - 8X Graphics Maximizing on VIA's KT400 chipset, the SY-KT400 brings official support for 8X AGP Pro to the AMD platform. The revolutionary 8X AGP operates at 533MHz and supports up to 2.1GB/sec I/O bandwidth, ensuring faster data transfer and improved graphics performance. The higher bandwidth between the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and the north bridge enables computer graphics at its best, especially for graphics intensive applications such as 3D graphics and gaming.
"O" - Smart Overclocking Options The SY-KT400 DRAGONTM Ultra offers a variety of smart overclocking options for users to experience the true power the DRAGONTM has to offer. In addition to adjustable CPU, DIMM and AGP voltages, DRAGONTM lovers are now able to enjoy higher a PCI divider (/5) and a more flexible APIC/IRQ sharing option.
To prevent the CPUs from overheating, this new AMD-based motherboard has a built-in Anti Burn Regulator. If the CPU temperature exceeds the recommended operating temperature, the system will automatically shut down to protect the CPU from overheating.
"N" - Network On Board On board 10/100 Mbps Ethernet is a standard feature of SOYO's SY-KT400 DRAGONTM Ultra. With the integrated Davicom PHY controller, the SY-KT400 eliminates the need for an external network card and is high-speed Internet ready.
"Ultra" - USB 2.0 With a 480Mbps data transfer rate, the on-board USB 2.0 interface enables fast I/O to large amounts of data, minimizing long wait time. The SY-KT400 features 6 USB 2.0 ports, 4 on the front and 2 on the rear.
KT400 DRAGON Series Featuring Several Bundled Items Adding value to the SOYO DRAGONTM motherboard, the KT400 DRAGONTM Ultra (Platinum Edition) is bundled with a Sigma Box featuring a combination flash memory reader/ writer and 2 front USB 2.0 ports. This all-in-one interface makes internal features externally accessible, and is compatible with Type I & II Compact Flash, Smart Media, and IBM Micro Drive. Other bundled units include an SPDIF audio connector for crisp digital sound, additional ATA-133 cables, the SOYO 8-In-1 CD Pack and a detailed User Manual.
The MSRP of the KT400 DRAGONTM Ultra (Platinum Edition) is $189 US. Volume discounts are available.
