HOT-597 is a high performace, cost effective, and energy efficient mainboard for the imple-
mentation of AGP, PCI, and ISA in desktop personal computer systems from 66MHz to
100MHz based on 64-bit Socket-7 super-scalar processors.
HOT-597 mainboard is a highly integrated IBM PC/ATX compatible ATX form-factor
system board designed to meet the industry's most demanding desktop applications. Based
on the VIA's MVP3 chipset.
HOT-597 accept AMD K6-2, K6, K5, 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 1024KB. The memory subsystem is
designed supports standard Fast Page Mode (FPM), EDO, SDRAM, and 100MHz SDRAM.
HOT-597 complies with the Accelerated Graphics Port Specification 1.0 and features
support for 66/68/75/83/95/100MHz CPU bus frequencies and the 66MHz AGP bus fre-
quency.
HOT-597 provides a new level of I/O integration. VIA MVP3 chipset provides increased
integration and improved performance over other chipset designs.
The VIA's MVP3 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 four 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-597 provides the foundation for cost effective, high performance, highly expandable
platforms, which deliver the latest in Pentium processor and I/O standard.
