VIA694X System Board 1
Chapter 1 Introduction
1-1 Main Board Overview
The main board is a new-generation INTEL Celeron/FC-PGA Pentium®III main
board designed based on VIA VT82C694X chipset. The main board
has integrated
the latest advances in processor, memory, I/O technologies into an ATX form
factor.
The main board utilizes VIA 694X chipset designed for INTEL Celeron/FC-PGA
Pentium®III CPUs and supports new architects such as high-speed 2X/4X mode
AGP graphic port, SDRAM, Ultra DMA/66( with VIA VT82C686B,
supports DMA/100), bus master IDE and USB port. It has three Dual In-line
Memory Modules (DIMM) which can be installed with SDRAM memory. The
memory subsystem supports up to either 384 MB (SDRAM). The main board
using the Socket370, accepts Intel® Pentium® II Celeron (66 MHz) & Pentium®
III(100/133 MHz) processors. Built-in second level (L2) cache in CPU, there is no
cache necessary in this system board.
The main board also has implemented VIA VT82C686A ( with
VT82C686B) high performance I/O Controller utilizes with fully Plug and Play
device which supports 2.88 MB Floppy, Dual 16550 Compatible (with 16 bytes
FIFO, up to 460K baud rate) Serial Port, ECP (Enhanced Capabilities Port), EPP
(Enhanced Parallel Port) parallel port, Infrared IrDA (HPSIR), Amplitude Shift
Keyed IR. (ASKIR) port and Audio.
The main board supports 5*PCI, 1*ISA, 1*A.G.P and 1*AMR. (four PCI Bus
Mastering slots & 1 PCI Bus Slave slot) for highest performance I/O add-on
adapter cards.
