January 15, 2001 Irvine, CA - Following the successful launch of KV200R, the
world's first Socket A Athlon IDE RAID motherboard. Iwill Corporation today
announced its new Socket A motherboard KK266-R and KK266 featuring
the much-anticipated Apollo KT133A north bridge and
VT82C686B south bridge from VIA Technologies Inc. Ultimate Upgrade
features include: support for 266MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) Athlons coupled
with 3 Phase Power to support up to 1.5GHz processor speeds, and native
dual channel Ultra ATA-100 support for 4 IDE devices with option to upgrade to a
quad Ultra ATA-100 channels supporting up to 8 IDE devices (RAID version).
Iwill promises that its feature-rich KK266 series motherboards truly deserve
the title of the Ultimate Upgrade motherboard for AMD
Athlon and Duron
processors. These features include:
Ultra-Fast 266MHz FSB is now needed more than ever
as the latest development in operating systems and software applications
continue to tax the system hardware. With processor speeds now exceeding the 1
GHz barrier, increasing the Front Side Bus is a good way of improving overall
system performance. Iwill's KK266 series motherboard integrates VIA's new
"KT133A" North bridge for compatibility with 266MHz FSB processors and "686B"
South bridge for Ultra ATA-100 support for native dual IDE channels.
Maximum Expansion opportunities are now available in
the new KK266 series design. Expansion slots are available for 6 x 32 bit PCI, 1
x 16 bit Legacy ISA, and 1 AGP 4X port. 3 DIMM slots support up to 1.5GB of
100MHz/133MHz bus system memory (PC133, PC100, Virtual Channel SDRAM
supported).
Onboard 4.1 Channel Hardware is one way Iwill
rewards its customers. State of the art in sound technology, the embedded 4.1
channel hardware sound supports 32 voice HRTF 3D extension positional audio,
Environmental Audio eXtention (EAX), and is completely compatible with
Microsoft's DirectSound 3D and Aureal A3D. Embraced by all gamers and users,
C-media's CMI8378 sound chip is now standard on all next generation Iwill
motherboards.
Iwill's Exclusive Embedded AMI ATA/100 IDE RAID provides excellent drive performance and data redundancy. IDE RAID
technology provides increased drive performance by allowing multiple drives to
perform the work of a single drive (RAID 0) that increases data throughput and
significantly boost overall system performance - perfect for graphics
workstations, CAD stations and other image- intensive applications. Mirroring
data drives (RAID 1) delivers fault tolerant data protection, ensuring data
availability even when a drive fails - ideal for Web and SOHO file server
environments. A similar concept to SCSI RAID, Iwill's IDE RAID solution supports
RAID 1, 0, 1+0, Span and Spare functions delivered in an incredibly
user-friendly installation procedure and supported by a variety of operating
systems.
Microstepping Technology
was developed by Iwill to
offer ease in adjustment of Front Side Bus via continuous 1Mhz increments up to
200MHz. Developed for DIY users that love to experiment with over-clocking, when
over-clocking goes beyond its limit, Microstepping's intelligent default
function will take you back to its original setting.
With a feature rich design engineered for the consumers, and specifications
demanded by the consumers, Iwill's KK266-R and KK266 truly is the Ultimate
Upgrade motherboard.
