The new MicroATX form-factor GA-6WMM uses the latest 810 chipset, which is design to support Intel Pentium III processor in slot 1 CPU interface. In addition GA-6WMM can also accept Celeron processors in SEPP. The most notable of the key features of the new 810 AGPset is the tightly integrated, enhanced 2D/3D graphics controller.

With DualBIOS, the days of ''BIOS failures'' are gone forever. The BIOS' user-friendly, auto-restoration and ''hot spare'' features demonstrate Gigabyte's continuing commitment to apply innovative technologies to improve the user's computing experience.Rounding out the feature-rich motherboard are the dual-channel, UltraDMA/66 bus master interface, 3 PCI 2.2-compliant slots, an optional ISA slot, and 2 DIMM sockets for up to 256MB of 66MHz or 100MHz SDRAM.
