"SB710 PCI Bridge supports 5 PCI slots by default but can be optionally configured to support a 6th slot. The PCI bridge runs at 33 MHz and can support CLKRUN# function with individual clock override (option not to stop specific PCICLK). In addition, it has the capability to hide individual PCI device."
High Definition Audio
"Intel® High Definition (HD) Audio is the next-generation PC audio technology intended for replacing the AC ’97. The primary goal for developing HD Audio is to create a uniform programming interface and to provide capabilities beyond those supported by the AC ‘97. It is not intended to be backward compatible with the AC ’97. The link protocols and operations of these two standards are not compatible, which means AC ‘97 and HD Audio codecs cannot be mixed on the same link."
Apart from that, which I copied from page 58, there are a lot of references to 3.3v which I have no clue.
I really don't expect any replies, I just wanted have a reference to which might be used for those of you having issues with your Intel CPU and AMD Southbridge.
If you do get the chance to peruse the handbook, you could add your own interpretation, the information is somewhat technical to which not may PC users could comprehend except those who have a real PC education!
I can't find the link for it, I'll add it later.

3.3V is one of several different Voltages on which RAM depends. When matching RAM sticks you wouldn't want to put a 3.3 Volt stick in a slot which should only draw 1.8 Volts.
In answer to your basic question, there isn't much for us ordinary mortals to gain from reading booklets such as yours That sort of highly technical stuff isn't necessary for most of us and I say that as a professional PC fixer. Folks who overclock their systems to tweak the maximum possible before wrecking the delicate bits would understand it all but everyday PC users have no need toknow this information.
AC97 being "new" dates the booklet a bit - just a short while before Windows '98 was born.

No worries
Thanks for adding commentary, anyway. It would be insightful to have actual discussions in the Discussion option, it would be a great learning aid. We can't know everything about computers and even the things we do know is usually outdated, obsolete, or irrelevant with current technologies, the way things are heading.
It would be interesting to get commentary from technicains to parts of that handbook, that might explain some things that could be useful for solving current and future issues. If not that handbook then other guides that are way too technical for the average non-educated noob to discuss.
I know that TH is not an educational enterprise, per se, but it still would be good to have something along those sorts of lines wherby users could make a query relevant to a particular handbook, manual or guide, and then have commentary fro others that might know or at least understand parts thereof.
I suppose, otherwise, we could just ask Wiki....

I'm sure your article would stimulate a good deal of debate in the CPU sub-section of the Forum., There lives the enthusiastic folks who overclock and tweak their systems and have all the minutiae of detail in their minds. Try posting here http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/29/cpus.html

I'm not sure the SB710 would fall into the overclocking group, I was more interested in someone who might want tio know a certain detail of the handbook, wehether it related to them, or actually knew what parts of it really meant to the layman (non-tech users).
I suppose the option for a thread to be a Discussion or a Question falls ino the Category of optional.
I'll just leave it here and see if anyone passing by notices it and chooses to add their thoughts...
All this came from a thread (which I cannot find but only answered recently) about the SB 710 on an Asus motherboard.
