This clean layout of this mainboard is definitely something that deserves a mention. First of all, lets take a look at the rear of the mainboard. There are connectors for COM1, PS/2 Keyboard, mouse, parallel port. S/PDIF, 4 USB, 1 1394 and audio ports.

The board comes with 4 PCI, 1 PCI-E x 16, 2 PCI-E x 1 which allows for future expansion cards. The power on board is based on a 3 phase design. On the PCB, we see the support chips e.g. Vitesse VSC8201 PHY chip (non pci-e). Realtek ALC850 8 ch audio codec is on board together with a Agere FW-3226 supporting the 1394 ports. Notice that there is a 4 pin power connector near the PCI slot. This connector is auxiliary power which mainly supplies for PXE function.

At the bottom of the board, we see 4 DIMM slots supporting up to 4GB of DC-DDR400. There are 2 IDE ports supporting up to 4 IDE devices. 4 SATA ports are also supported by the chipset. Both the IDE and SATA can be mixed to form an RAID array. The single chipset is attached with an active heatsink which definitely helps to cool down the chipset.
