INTRODUCTION
The MS-6112 is a high-performance personal computer mainboard based on
®
the Pentium II processor.
®
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel 82440LX AGPset which
optimize the system bandwidth and concurrency with the implementation of
Quad Port Acceleration (QPA). QPA provides 4-port concurrent arbitration
of the processor bus, graphics, PCI bus and SDRAM.
®
The Intel 82371AB chipset integrates all system control functions such as
ACPI (Advanc
