Support 133MHz CPU and SDRAM
: The VIA 8606 Twister-T
chipset boosts the CPU FSB bus and Memory interface speed to
133MHz.
•
Flexible Memory Speed:
The Memory bus speed can be same
with CPU FSB speed (Default). It is also allow users to run
133MHz PC133 memory while CPU runs on 100MHz FSB. Or
Boost CPU FSB speed to 133MHz while use low cost PC100
zMemory module. No compromise and better flexibility.
•
High-Integrated 2D/3D/VIDEO Accelerator:
The built-in S3
Savage4 VGA chip support AGP 4X mode with Sideband
Addressing and AGP Texturing (Execute mode) to realize all the
benefits of AGP. The Share Memory Architecture (SMA) allows
user to decide how many main memory size will be allocated for
video graphic buffer. This saves system cost yet reserve room for
applications which require large frame buffer size.
•
Dual LAN Design:
Two 10/100M Ethernet provide aggregated
bandwidth can be up to 400Mbps while two ports working on
full-duplex 100-BaseT. The dual port design fulfill the needs of
emerging Internet appliances, NAS as well as servers
applications. . The drivers for most popular Operation systems and
NOS have been validated and proved the compatibility. It also
supports latest network standards and protocols like speed
auto-negotiation between 10Base-T and 100Base-T, half/full
duplex (IEEE8023.3u), flow-control (IEEE8023X), VLAN
(IEEE802.3Q), Priority packet(IEEE802.3P) and etc. The
multi-protocols support ensures the best interoperability.
•
Two EIDE channels:
Two IDE channels designed in the small
ISA half-size card form factor. The Secondary IDE connector is
designed with 44-pin 2mm pitch connector. This allow user
connector to a 2.5” HDD directly with out any bridge board. DOM
users can choose 44-pin DOM for small package and save power
cable connector.
