Overview

The Acer Altos G610 server model is a PCI bus based dual processor 
system board built on an extended ATX baseboard.  It comes with two 
socket 370  processor slots utilizing two Intel® Pentium® III processors 
integrated with the Server Works LE north and OSB4 south bridge 
chipsets.  The dual channel SCSI architecture supports Ultra160 SCSI 
with bandwidth of up to 160 MB/s for each channel. The system board 
also integrates the Intel® 82559 10/100 Mbps PCI Ethernet chipset that 
supports WOL (Wake on LAN) for better remote site management. 

For expandability, the system board includes four 64-bit/33 MHz PCI 
bus slots, two 32-bit/33 MHz PCI bus slots, and four DIMM slots that 
allows memory installation to a maximum of 4-GB using four 1024-MB 
SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) modules.

For connectivity, the system board supports two USB (Universal Serial 
Bus) connectors, PS/2 interface for both mouse and keyboard, a video 
port and other standard features such as two UART NS16C550 serial 
ports, one enhanced parallel port with Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP)/
Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) support, a diskette drive interface, 
and two embedded hard disk interfaces. 

The system is fully compatible with MS-DOS V6.X, Novell Netware, 
Novell, SCO UNIX Openserver,  SCO Unixware, Linux, Sun Solaris, 
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000

Processors

The Pentium III processor implements Dynamic Execution performance, 
a multi-transaction system bus, and Intel MMX media enhancement 
technology. Also, it offers Streaming SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple 
Data) Extensions - 70 new instructions enabling advanced imaging, 3D, 
streaming audio and video, and speech recognition applications. The 
Pentium III processor delivers higher performance than previous 
Pentium processors while maintaining binary compatibility with all 
previous Intel Architecture processors.  

This system board supports 100 or 133 MHz GTL+ host bus frequencies 
for Pentium III processors running at 600 to 866 MHz, and future 
generations of Pentium processors, too.
