The board features Dual SDRAM/DDR Memory Support and includes two 184-pin DDR SDRAM 2.5V DIMM sockets with support up to 2GB (DDR 200/266) and one 168-pin SDRAM 3.3V DIMM Socket with support up to 1GB (PC100/133). It features the VIA P4M266A / 8235 chipset with support for 533/400 MHz FSB.

Embedded "All-in-One" features include on-board 6-channel audio; S3 Graphics ProSavage8™ Integrated Graphics; 10/100 Mbps LAN; high speed USB 2.0 and optional IEEE 1394 Firewire ports. The board is expandable with five 32-bit bus mastering PCI slots (V2.2 compliant) and one AGP slot (support 2x/4x mode).

The SY-K7VMP is a AMD Socket-A Based/VIA KM400 Chipset ATX "All-in-One" motherboard, which supports AMD Athlon XP 3000+ or Duron 1.3GHz processors.
