Processor
The P4VXMS mainboard includes a Socket 423
that has the following features:
•
Supports up to a 400 MHz system bus.
•
Accommodates Intel Pentium 4 processors.
Chipset
The chipset on P4VXMS includes the VT8753
Northbridge and VT8233 Southbridge which are
based on an innovative and scalable architecture
with proven reliability and performance. A few of the
chipset’s advanced features are:
•
An advanced V-Link memory controller archi-
tecture that provides the bandwidth up to 266
MB/s and performance necessary for even the
most demanding Internet and 3D graphics
•
Support for a 4xAGP interface providing vivid
3D graphics and video performance
•
An ATA 100 interface on the chipset, which
helps boost system performance by providing
a high-speed connection to ATA 100 Hard
Disk Drives, delivering maximum sustained
data transfer rates of 100 MB/sec
Additional key features include support for six
USB ports, an AC 97 link for audio and modem,
hardware monitoring, and ACPI/OnNow power
management.
Memory
The mainboard accommodates three 168 pin,
3.3V DIMM sockets with a total capacity of 3 GB
(registered), 1.5 GB (unbuffered).
VGA
The P4VXMS includes a 4xAGP slot that provides
four times the bandwidth of the original AGP
specification. AGP technology provides a direct
connection between the graphics sub-system and
memory so that the graphics do not have to com-
pete for processor time with other devices on the
PCI bus.
