Microsatellite system
The serial number of MSI motherboard is mainly divided into two forms: "model name" and "product name". The "digital name" adopted in the early stage means "ms-"+"xxxx"+"PCB xx", such as "MS-6309 2.0" and "MS-6 199 1.0". In this naming method, the number is named by the R&D department of the manufacturer, and there is no other meaning. The version number of PCB is irregular and the numbering characteristics are not obvious, so it is difficult for ordinary users to know the characteristics of motherboard model.
In order to facilitate users to remember and understand the product model, MSI later adopted the naming method of "model name". Its identification mode is expressed by chipset name+architecture type (Pro/Turbo/Master)+ additional functions (S/L/A/I/R). The chipset suffix "D" indicates that the motherboard supports dual CPU, and "M" indicates the architecture of micro ATX motherboard. "Pro" refers to general motherboard products, "Turbo" refers to motherboards with enhanced functions, and "Master" refers to high-end motherboards (such as those used by network servers or graphic workstations). The main control motherboard generally has SCSI function (except special motherboard products). Among the additional functions, "S" means that the motherboard has its own SCSI interface, "L" means that the motherboard has integrated network cards, "A" means that the motherboard has integrated sound cards from other manufacturers or supports ATA 100 specifications, "I" means that the motherboard has IEEE 1394 firewire interface, and "R" means that the motherboard supports RAID function. For example, the serial number of the motherboard is K7T Turbo-R. From the serial number, it can be seen that the motherboard uses VIA KT 133A chipset, and the support for RAID function is added.
In addition, MSI has some special naming methods for products with special specifications. For example, in the early "6309" series products, "6309NL" just didn't have D-LED lights. However, "6309NL 100" expresses that the motherboard supports ATA 100 specification by adding the suffix "100", and at the same time avoids the confusion between using suffix "A" and 6309A using hard sound card.
gbyte
Gigabit motherboard numbers begin with "GA-", followed by numbers and English letters to distinguish the specifications of specific motherboards. The serial number of PetroChina is GA-”+ Supported CPU Type+Chipset Model Adopted by Motherboard+Card Type Used+Suffix.
Gigabit motherboards can distinguish the types of processors supported by motherboards by numbers, and now there are four types: 5, 6, 7 and 8. For example, processors supporting Intel series start with "6" (those supporting Pentium 4 start with "8"), and motherboards supporting AMD series processors start with the number "7". The English letters at the back represent the motherboard chipset model, A stands for the motherboard chipset of Ali Company, which is rare now, and B stands for Intel 440BX. Very "classic" products, the letter C stands for Intel i820 chipset, D stands for AMD 760 chipset, O stands for Intel i8 15 chipset, W stands for Intel BX/LX/ZX chipset, V stands for VIA chipset, S stands for SiS chipset, and Z originally refers to Intel 440 ZX. Now kt 133/ has been added. The third English letter indicATes the motherboard version, X indicates the atX version, (standard), M indicates the micro ATX version (minor version), F indicates the Flex ATX version (the smallest version at present), and A indicates the baby AT version. The last suffix number is used to distinguish the specific motherboard varieties. The suffix number of Gigabit motherboards generally uses 1 to 4-digit letters or numbers, which can be combined with each other.
A stands for Audio, which means that a sound card is integrated on this motherboard.
B indicates that the via 686B is used to replace the south bridge chip of the motherboard, indicating that UDMA 100 is supported.
C stands for Basic, which means "simplification". In addition, in the 820 series products, C indicates products that do not support Rambus, such as 6CXC.
D refers to dual CPU. GIGA's dual CPU products seem to be rare in China.
E is a consistent word in the computer world, which means enhanced and enhanced version.
F stands for "multimedia", which means that the motherboard integrates sound card and graphics card, especially digital tablet.
G stands for integrated graphics card, VGA.
H stands for high end, which means that the motherboard has SCSI control and network card on the basis of integrated graphics card.
L is a local area network, which is naturally integrated with the network card.
M is multimedia, of course. After the sound card and graphics card are integrated on the motherboard, it is called M.
R is a rack server. On the basis of integrating display and network card, it also has Raid control function of SCSI or IDE for data server.
Needless to say, the motherboard itself integrates SCSI.
T means twins, which is the design of Gemini. Socket 370 and slot 1 are placed on the motherboard at the same time.
U stands for Ultra 2/Ultra 160 SCSI, and the motherboard integrates enhanced SCSI.
W is a workstation, which needs SCSI and network card, so the motherboard integrated with SCSI control and network card is called W.
Z refers to the integrated graphics card, sound card and network card, which is suitable for families to form a small network. The letter z itself has no meaning.
For example: GA-60XM7 motherboard, it can be seen from the serial number that this motherboard supports Intel series CPU, and adopts Intel i8 15 chipset and ATX architecture. GA-6WMM7 supports Intel series CPU, but as a micro ATX, it is a motherboard with Intel i8 10 chipset architecture.
There are also some figures that are specific to certain products:
-4X emphasizes that the product uses a 694X chipset. Because both 693A and 694X are 6VM7 according to the numbering principle, -4X is added to distinguish them.
-4E is only used to replace -4X, indicating that it is an enhanced version of 694X.
-e, note that this e is lowercase and is only used to represent 8 10e. Because intel named 8 10e in lowercase, it was changed here. Such as 6x7-e.
+also means enhancement (but it seems that we see more software), and it is only used for 693A series products.
ASUS (ASUS)
The model naming of ASUS motherboard is divided into four parts. The first part indicates the supported processor type, the second part indicates the chipset manufacturer adopted by the motherboard, the third part indicates the chipset type, and the fourth part is the suffix used to distinguish the motherboard type. The first three parts of model naming are the main body of motherboard model naming.
In the first part of ASUS motherboard model naming, "CU" stands for Socket 370 processor supporting Inter, and "A7" stands for AMD Socket A processor. The second part of the name represents the chipset manufacturer, such as "V" for VIA chipset, "S" for SIS chipset and "A" for ALI chipset. However, there are exceptions, that is, chipset code as the second part. For example, "SL2" indicates that the chipset code is Solano2(i8 15E). The third part "4X" means 694X chipset, while for the motherboard with Atholon/Duron processor scheme, the fourth part uses English or numbers, such as "Pro" means that the motherboard uses KT 133 chipset. The last part of the naming is suffix, which is used to distinguish some features of the motherboard, and its meaning is similar to that of gigabit motherboard. Where "-E" stands for enhanced version and "-C" stands for simplified version. "-V" means that the motherboard is integrated with a graphics card chip, "-L" means that the motherboard is integrated with a network card chip, "-M" means that the motherboard adopts a micro ATX architecture, "-D" means that the motherboard supports dual CPUs, and "-S" means that the motherboard has a SCSI interface. These suffixes are sometimes used in combination. For example, CUSL2 motherboard can be seen from the serial number that it supports Intel Socket 370 processor and adopts Intel i8 15E chipset. CUV4X-DLS is a motherboard with suffix combination. Support Intel Socket 370 dual processors, adopt VIA's 694 chipset, integrate network card and have SCSI interface. In this way, from the numbering point of view, this motherboard is suitable for primary graphics workstations and small servers. If you see that the motherboard number is A7Pro, it means that the motherboard uses VIA KT 133 chipset and supports Thunderbird/Duron processor.
Lenovo (QDI)
Lenovo motherboard number usually consists of "motherboard chip name"+"digital number"+"suffix".
We can preliminarily judge whether the motherboard supports INTEL or AMD series CPU by "motherboard chip name", in which "motherboard chip name" is taken from the first letter of Lenovo's R&D code, and if there is duplication, the last letter of the R&D code is selected as the additional identification code. For example, the development code of Intel i8 15 chipset in Lenovo motherboard is Synacti X. If only the letter X is used, the motherboard chip name of Intel i8 15 chipset motherboard will be determined as SX. Lenovo designated the development code of VIA chipset as "Advance", and the "motherboard chip name" of its motherboard was determined as "A".
With the improvement of chipset, the motherboard number is constantly changing. Therefore, in addition to the "motherboard chip name", they also have their own "digital number". Generally, the motherboard is numbered after the "motherboard chip name" in the order in which the motherboard is launched. In order to distinguish, some motherboard models add English letters after the number. For example, the serial number of Intel i8 15E chipset motherboard is 2E, i8 15EP chipset is 2EP, and VIA chipset motherboard is 10. The suffix further distinguishes the function of the motherboard. The suffix "e" means the enhanced motherboard, "b" means the motherboard adopts 686B south bridge chip, "m" means the motherboard adopts micro ATX architecture, "-A" means the motherboard integrates sound card chip and "-L" means the motherboard integrates network card chip, and the suffixes can also be used in combination. When a motherboard has both a sound card chip and a network card chip, its suffix becomes ".For example, from the serial number of SX2EP-Al motherboard, we can know that the motherboard adopts Intel i8 15EP chipset, and the sound card and network card chips are integrated on the motherboard.
Elite (expert)
The elite motherboard number is associated with the chipset model. The early serial number of the elite motherboard consists of Supported Processor Type+Chipset Abbreviation+Processor Interface Type+Suffix. ?
First of all, the CPU type supported by the motherboard is indicated by the first English letter, "P" indicates the CPU supporting Intel or compatible Intel processors, and the following numbers indicate the CPU type supported. "6" means supporting Celeron and PII CPU motherboards, "K" means supporting AMD's K7 series CPU, which will be used together with the number "7". The second part is the name of the chipset used. BX stands for 440BX chipset, IW stands for I8 10 chipset, BA stands for VIA's Apollo chipset, VA stands for VIA's 694X chipset, and SE stands for SIS's 620 chipset. In the third part, the types of processor interfaces are simply distinguished by an English letter. "T" means that there is both slot 1 and socket 370 interface on the motherboard, while "P" means that there is only one socket 370 interface on the motherboard. The last suffix is the description of the motherboard. The "A" motherboard is micro ATX, the "F" indicates motherboard reinforcement, and the "E" indicates that the motherboard comes with a sound card. With the emergence of new chipsets, the number and name of elite motherboards have been adjusted accordingly. Some characters at the end of the motherboard number, including "e", have been removed, because all elite motherboards now have sound cards. "P" or "T" Now INTEL CUP uses Socket 370 interface. In addition, some new meanings have been added, such as "D" supporting dual CPU, "SA" of INTEL's I8 15E chipset, "SM" of SIS's 630S chipset and "RAID" of the motherboard with RAID function. For example, the serial number of D6VAA-RAID motherboard shows that the motherboard adopts VIA 694X chipset, supports dual CPU, and the motherboard architecture is ATX, which also has RAID function.
Soltke (Soltke)
The serial number of Shuoteke motherboard always starts with "SL-", and its serial number generally consists of "SL-"+"chipset"+"suffix".
The number beginning with "s" indicates that the motherboard supports Socket 7 architecture CPU, 65 indicates that the motherboard supports Socket 370 architecture CPU, 67 indicates that it supports Slot 1 architecture CPU, 68 indicates that it supports dual CPU architecture, 77 indicates that it supports Slot A architecture CPU, and 75 indicates that it supports Socket A architecture CPU. Next, English alphanuMEric characters represent the adopted chipset, "me" represents the motherboard using i8 15E chipset, "h" represents the motherboard using i8 10 chipset, "f" represents the motherboard using 440ZX chipset, "KV" represents the motherboard using VIA 694X+686A chipset, and "FV" represents the motherboard using. Finally, the English letters with the suffix "-x" indicate that the motherboard has the function of language diagnosis. Taking the motherboard numbered SL-65mie as an example, it shows that the motherboard supports Socket 370 CPU, uses i8 15E chipset, and the board type is micro ATX.
Diamonds (DFI)
The serial number of a diamond motherboard generally consists of five parts, which are supported processor type+chipset+motherboard type+integrated chip description+suffix? . ?
The first English letter of the motherboard number supports the type of CPU, and "C" means supporting INTEL series CPU. The English letters in the second part represent the chipset used by the motherboard, which is mainly taken from the first English letter of the chipset code. For example, "W" stands for INTEL I8 10 chipset, whose chipset code is WHITNEY, and "S" stands for I8 15 chipset, whose chipset code is SOLANO. In addition, "K" is K "AMD's K7 series chipset. The third part consists of numbers, representing the board type adopted by the motherboard. "3" means micro ATX plate type, and "6" means ATX plate type. The fourth part is the digital code, which is used to indicate whether the motherboard integrates the graphics card and sound card chips, "5" means that the graphics card and sound card chips are integrated, and the last part is the function description of the motherboard. "S" means that the motherboard only contains the standard functions provided by the chipset, that is, the standard motherboard. "E" means the motherboard with special functions. "C" means the motherboard is integrated with AC-97 soft sound card, and "U" means the motherboard is integrated with hard sound card. "N" means that no additional chips are integrated on the motherboard, and the serial number of the diamond motherboard can be compared. For example, the motherboard number is CS65-EC, indicating that the motherboard adopts INTEL I8 15 chipset, supports SOCKET 370 CPU, and the motherboard type is ATX, which integrates AC-97 soft sound card and graphics card, and also supports ATA 100 specification. The serial number of the motherboard is AK74-EC, which means that the motherboard adopts VIA KT 133 chipset, supports K7 Thunderbird/Duron processors, and integrates AC-97 soft sound card and IDE port of ATA 100. At the same time, there are some special cases. For example, the "6" in the serial number AK76-SN indicates that the motherboard adopts AMD 760 chipset.
ABIT (skill improvement)
The upgraded motherboard is named after the chipset manufacturer and consists of chipset manufacturer+chipset+supported processor type+suffix.
The first digit of the serial number is the English letter "S" or "B", which means that the motherboard adopts Inte chipset, and if VIA chipset is used, it starts with the English letter "V" or "K". The second letter of the number is named after the chipset name. If the motherboard supports dual CPU, the middle English letter is "P" (for example, motherboards numbered BP6 and VP6). The last letter of the serial number indicates the supported CPU type, "5" and "6" indicate support for Intel series CPU (such as Intel I 8 15e), and "7" indicates support for AMD series CPU (such as KT 133 chipset). In addition, when the motherboard has special functions, it will be explained by suffix. For example, the motherboard has RAID function, and the number will be added with "RAID" suffix. The serial number of the motherboard is KT7-RAID, which means that the motherboard uses VIA's KT 133 chipset, and the motherboard has RAID function.
Ondata
Onda motherboard number consists of chipset manufacturer+chipset+external frequency (digital)+suffix.
We can see that Onda motherboard number is also named around chipset manufacturers. First, the motherboard number of INTEL manufacturer's chipset begins with the letter "ID", and then the chipset abbreviations are added, such as ID8 10, ID8 15, ID8 15E, ID8 15EP. Just look at the serial numbers of these motherboards and you can see them at a glance. These motherboards adopt I8 10 chipset, I8 15 chipset, I8 15E chipset and I8 15EP chipset respectively. If Onda motherboard adopts VIA manufacturer's chipset, the first English letter of motherboard number should be "V" and "K", followed by the specific model and chipset abbreviation. For example, VP- 133 uses VIA 693A chipset, VP4- 133 uses VIA 694X chipset, and KA-266 uses VIA KT 133A chipset. The numbers behind represent the standard external frequency supported by the motherboard, and some numbers are followed by a "plus sign", indicating that the motherboard has enhanced some functions. For example, VP4- 133PLUS means that the motherboard is equipped with a hard sound card chip, which supports ATA 100 specifications and adopts a VIA 694X chipset.
Mei Jie (Soyo)
The serial numbers of motherboards in Mei Jie all start with SY-, and generally consist of processor types supported by SY-++chipset+chipset R&D code+architecture.
Mei Jie motherboards use numbers to distinguish motherboards supporting INTEL series CPU, while K7 is used to represent motherboards supporting AMD series CPU. The next English letters indicate the manufacturer of the chipset, followed by "chipset R&D code", "product architecture" and "version". In the level of Intel series processors, "5" stands for motherboards supporting Intel Pentium CPU, "6" stands for motherboards supporting old Celeron and PII CPU, and "7" stands for motherboards supporting new Celeron and PIII CPU. For "chipset", take the first letter of the chipset manufacturer's name. For example, the chipset provided by Intel is indicated by "I", the chipset provided by VIA is "V", the chipset provided by ALI is "A" and the chipset provided by SIS is "S". In addition, the first English letter of the R&D code of chipset is part of the motherboard number, and the R&D code of I8 15E chipset is Solano2, so the "R&D code of chipset" is represented by the English letter "S". "T" is the first English letter of KT 133 chipset development code Tehama, "B" is the first English letter of Pentium 4 chipset development code Brookdale, and "C" is the first English letter of 694X chipset development code. The "architecture" of the motherboard is represented by the first English letter of the English name of the architecture. "A" means that the motherboard adopts ATX large board architecture, "B" means that the motherboard adopts Baby AT architecture, and "M" means that it adopts micro ATX architecture. Some motherboards distinguish nuances by adding suffixes such as English letters and symbols. For example, SY-K7VTA-B, the difference is that the chipset adopted by the former is 686B South Bridge chipset. The "+"symbol indicates motherboard enhancement. DDR motherboards will be listed on 200 1 one after another. Due to the changes in product architecture and other features, the numbering rules of Mei Jie motherboards will change to SY-”+ Supported Processor Level+Chipset Manufacturer+Supported Memory Type+Product Version. The first three parts remain unchanged, only the fourth and fifth parts have changed. "S" stands for the motherboard supporting SDRAM memory, "D" stands for DDR memory, "R" stands for RAMBUS memory, and "B" stands for the motherboard of this model supporting both SDRAM and DDR memory. In Part V "Product Version", "A" stands for version 1 and "B" stands for version 2. For example, the motherboard number is SY-7VDA, which means that the motherboard supports the new Celeron and PIII CPU. Through the chipset and DDR memory, the motherboard version is 1.
Ivy (Illinois)
Ivy's motherboard number is named after the chipset manufacturer and generally consists of "supported processor type"+"chipset"+"suffix".
The first English letter indicates the processor type supported by the motherboard, and "K" indicates that the motherboard supports AMD K7 series CP.
"and" V "indicate that the motherboard supports Intel series CPU, while the motherboard with" V "adopts VIA chipset. The second part consists of English letters and numbers. English letters represent the chipset used by the motherboard, and numbers represent the standard external frequency supported by the motherboard. For example, "V200" means VIA's KT 133 chipset, "A200" means that the motherboard uses Ali chipset, "K266" means that the motherboard uses VIA's KT 133A chipset, and "WO2" means that the motherboard uses Intel i8 15E chipset (2 is short for ICH2) and "A". The last suffix is a description of the additional enhancements of the motherboard. "-R" indicates that the motherboard supports RAID mode, "PRO" indicates that the motherboard model is enhanced version, and "PL" indicates that the motherboard model is thin version. Of course there are exceptions. For example, the first English letter of DBL 100 is "D", which means that the motherboard supports dual CPU, the second English letter "B" means that the motherboard uses 440BX chipset, the last letter "L" means that the motherboard has SCSI function, and the number "100" means that the standard external frequency of the motherboard is 60. ?
Although the serial numbers of motherboards are getting more and more complicated, they are always the same, and their product numbers are named around the chipset and supported processor types. So as long as we can find out the serial numbers of motherboards of various manufacturers, we can know the characteristics and performance of products through the serial numbers of motherboards, so we don't have to worry about buying motherboards.
