5.1 Introduction
The PPC-S153 uses the combination of VT82C694X north bridge and
VT82C686B super south bridge from VIA technologies, Inc., which is a
high integration, high performance, cost-effective and energy efficient
chipset for the implementation of AGP/PCI/ISA multifunctional
computer systems from 66 MHz, 100 MHz and 133 MHz based on 64-
bit Socket 370 processors, meanwhile, it also provides superior
performance between the CPU, DRAM, AGP bus, and PCI bus with
pipelined, burst and concurrent operation.
The VIA VT82C694X system controller also supports full AGP v2.0
capability for maximum bus utilization including 2x and 4x mode
transfers, as well as supports two 32-bit 3.3/5V system buses that are
synchronous/pseudo-synchronous to the CPU bus.
The VIA VT82C686B PSIPC (PCI Super-I/O Integrated Peripheral
Controller) can support Intel and non-Intel based processor to PCI bus
bridge functionality to make a complete Microsoft PC99-compliant PCI/
ISA system, moreover, it also supports master mode enhanced IDE
controller with dual channel DMA engine (includes UltraDMA-33/66/
100) and interlaced dual channel commands.
