Description: This mobo is becoming ancient but these are the specs:
Socket A type CPUs AMD Duron/Athlon/ Athlon XP
FSB 266 MHz
Chipset Via KT400
Supports up to 3 GB of RAM (3 slots) DDR400, DDR333, DDR266
Dual BIOS
OnBoard LAN Realtek 10/100 half/full duplex
OnBoard Sound Realtek AC97
2xIDE connectors
1x Floppy
Card reader connector

It needs a BIOS update (to F13) in order to reveal its true power. VERY stable mobo, no problems since I've got it (NOV 2002)

The system is about 1 and half years old with no problems.
