Cebit Update: ABIT Displays ST6-RAID : The World's First FC-PGA2 Motherboard

Taipei, Taiwan. R.O.C.Tuesday, March 27, 2000- The ST6-RAID is ABIT's latest Universal mainboard based on the Intel 815EP chipset, and represents the very top of the line in support for current Intel FC-PGA Socket CPUs as well as adding support for the upcoming FC-PGA2 CPU Line. The ST6-RAID combines appealing 815EP features such as onboard sound, 133MHz FSB and PC133 SDRAM support, and full Communication/Networking Riser capabilities with unique ABIT innovations such as SoftMenu™III, ATA/100, and IDE RAID! With all these features, the ST6-RAID is truly loaded with power.

The 815EP chipset provides the ST6-RAID with all of today's standard top-of-the-line features: 66/100/133MHz FSB support, 2 USB ports, 3 DIMM slots for SDRAM modules, 1 AGP slot (with AGP 4X support and AIMM compatibility), integrated sound, 1 CNR slot, and 6 PCI slots. The "E" in 815EP stands for the South Bridge's ICH2 (I/O Controller Hub 2), which brings with it a few features of its own: ATA/100 on the two native IDE channels, an extra USB channel (for a grand total of up to 4 USB ports), and full support for CNR networking cards.

ABIT has also added an onboard ATA100/RAID controller, giving you 2 more channels of ATA/100 support which, when added to the 2 native channels, allow you to connect up to 8 IDE devices! This controller also gives you RAID 0, 1, and 0+1 capabilities. RAID 0 divides data across two drives, giving you faster transfer rates, RAID 1 automatically makes a backup copy of your hard drive, and RAID 0+1 gives you the best of both: speed plus safety! In addition to all this power, the ST6-RAID also gives you flexibi
