HOT-591 mainboard is a highly integrated IBM PC/AT compatible AT form-factor system
board designed to meet the industry's most demanding desktop applications. Based on the
VIA's VP3 chipset.
HOT-591 accept AMD K5, K6, Intel Pentium P54C, Pentium MMX, IDT-C6 and Cyrix/
IBM 6x86, 6x86L, 6x86MX processors and also features high-performance pipelined burst
secondary cache memory support with size of 512KB. The memory subsystem is designed
to support up to 256MB of EDO RAM, Standard Fast Page DRAM and SDRAM in standard
72-pin SIMM socket and 168-pin 3.3 V DIMM socket.
HOT-591 is equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) slot, a high performance
interconnect for graphic-intensive application, such as 3D applications. The AGP is inde-
pendent of the PCI bus and is designed to exclusively use with graphical-display devices.
HOT-591 provides a new level of I/O integration. VIA VP3 chipset provides increased
integration and improved performance over other chipset designs.
The VIA's VP3 chipset provides an integrated Bus Mastering IDE controller with two high
performance Ultra 33 DMA IDE interfaces for up to four IDE devices.
The onboard I/O controller provides the standard PC I/O functions: floppy interface, two
FIFO serial ports, an IrDA device port and a SPP/EPP/ECP capable parallel port.
Up to three PCI local bus slots provide a high bandwidth data path for data-movement
intensive functions such as graphics, and up to three ISA slots complete the I/O function.
HOT-591 provides the foundation for cost effective, high performance, highly expandable
platforms, which deliver the latest in Pentium processor and I/O standard.
HOT-591 Mainboard is carefully designed for the demanding PC user who wants high
performance and many intelligent features in a compact package:
