Introduction

The S1857 Trinity 371 is a quality, high performance motherboard designed for

Socket 370 Intel Celeron and Slot 1 Intel PII/ PIII microprocessors. The Trinity

371 utilizes the Intel 440BX AGPset with AMI  BIOS (S1857-B & S1857A-B) or

a VIA VT82C693A with Award  BIOS  for S1857 & S1857-A models.  S1857 can

support Celeron/ PII/ PIII CPU speeds of 300MHz through 600MHz, and host

bus speeds of 66MHz to 133MHz.

( The VIA chipset version’s bus speed is Auto-Determined by the CPU. The

BX version can support 133Mhz by overclocking the chipset but it is not

recommended by Intel

TM 

 and Tyan.)

The S1857 motherboard, with built-in AGP slot, provides high performance

capabilities that are ideal for a wide range of demanding applications such as

CAD, CAM, CAE, desktop publishing, 3D animation, and video production.

This system board in an ATX form factor offers far more features and

expandability than Micro ATX models. Some of the features included are

onboard dual channel PCI PIO, Bus Master IDE and UltraDMA/66, onboard
