MP982
Systemax (Tiger Direct), Maxtech and Keynote appear to have been the resellers of theses machines in the USA and Canada. Keynote has a MP982 manual on their web site and that includes the CPU settings. Systemax has the drivers for the MP982 on their website.
Note: These machines will NOT support the AMD K6-2+ or K6-3+ CPU's. Too bad, because they have a 100 MHz motherboard main bus speed.
Running the Sandra test program reveals that the MP982 motherboard chip set is from Acer and the BIOS was written by Acer also.

 |
|
|||
MP982 strongest selling point is that it's using very high-end CPU's from AMD on a 100MHz bus.
|
||||
To make the MP982 as light and slim as possible the CD-ROM is exchangeable with the FDD. The SmartBay also supports LS-120 and ZIP drive for large capacity data.
|
||||
CPU:
|
||||
The CPU is easily mounted on a standard desktop Socket-7. Here you can put the AMD K6-2 up to 450MHz speed. To further increase the 3D performance the K6-2 supports 3DNow! instructions.
(Note: I think that a 550 MhZ CPU should run - but I've not tested this)
|
 |
|||
Memory:
|
||||
 There are two memory sockets, both supports PC-100 SO-DIMM memory modules for highest speed. The maximum amount of memory is a whopping 256MB.
|
||||
SmartBay:
|
||||
There are five different devices in the SmartBay, these devices are easily exchangeable:
|
||||
FDD 1.44MB
LS-120 120MB
ZIP 100MB
CD-ROM 680MB read-only
DVD-ROM 4.7G read-only
