Motherboard PC Chips M766LMRT
(Continuation)

Concerning motherboard topology it is necessary to mark, that tendency to reduction of the sizes of the card and compact layout of units quite often leads to that close layout of AGP slot complicates usage of an adjacent PCI slot in case of usage of powerful videoadapters. This results from the fact that the structure of such arrangements, as a rule, includes rather bulky coolers overlapping space, intended for adjacent card PCI. In addition to it, the installed card of the modem quite often does not allow to take advantage of following PCI plug. Thus, in case of usage of the powerful videoadapter and the modem card there is a limited quantity of PCI plugs or ISA. Similar problems for card M766LMRT created on the basis of a chip set i810. Absence of a problem with the videoadapter speaks absence in the architecture of the motherboard of AGP slot, linked to usage built in structure of a chip set of video resources. The problem and modem layouts is in an original way solved. Its small sizes do not create problems. Therefore for the motherboard all three PCI slots are always accessible, that taking into account advantages of a chip set i810 allows to consider the given card as successful solution for computer Low End creation, otlichajushegosja the low price.

Now concerning the productivity received in the course of testing of popular motherboards from known manufacturers. The processor of Pentium III (Coppermine) with frequency of 700 MHz used . All installations in BIOS Setup — by default.

The received results show potential possibilities used by implementators of the motherboard of a chip set i810. High efficiency somewhat deny a myth about the weak architecture of the given chip set. Possibly, condemning estimations are often linked by that the products created on the basis of a chip set i810 and oriented to sector Low End, tried to estimate from positions of arrangements of higher class. Same concerns also such subject as dispersal. It is necessary to mark, that, as a rule, motherboards with i810 are badly adapted for such modes. By the way, it in general concerns products Low End. In this sense the tested product is not an exception.

Now some words about the modem. Despite its simple arrangement and extremely low price, it has shown quite good parametres. Link on the values exceeding 30 Кбит/c was an everyday occurrence. Considering, that metrics of speed depend not only on modems for users, but also from providers and quality of phone lines, it is possible to hope, that in good conditions the discussed arrangement can show promised 56 Кбит/c. However it is necessary to consider, that simplicity of a construction of the modem does not provide optimisation of operation at the expense of careful customisation. Nevertheless, it is unconditional at the expense of the low price the specified package will find the buyer.

Concerning a quiescent operation and dependability of the motherboard it is necessary to mark, that in the course of testing of remarks to operation play was not. However the specified motherboard has been given on the limited period and for this reason it is not obviously possible to estimate its dependability.

In summary it is necessary to pay attention, that functionality and a complete set depend on model of the motherboard and usage of optional resources. As it is quite often underlined, the corporation reserves the right to itself to make changes to a construction of cards.

And one more remark. The specified card is, is finite needinstvenym type of the cards released by the given manufacturer. According to the changes occurring in the market of accessories, different variants of cards are developed and released. Any are more successful, any less. Therefore it is necessary to show certain attentiveness at purchase of concrete type of the motherboard, consulting with experts of the corporation-seller.
