HOT-679 is a highly integrated IBM PC/ATX compatible system board designed to
meet the industry's most demanding desktop applications.
Based on the Intel 82440BX AGPset chipset which support up to 500MHz Pentium
TM
II
processor with MMX technology.
HOT-679 is equipped with an Accelerated Graphics Port (A.G.P.), a high-performance
interconnect for graphic-intensive application, such as 3D applications. The A.G.P. is
independent of the PCI bus and is designed to exclusively use with graphical-display
devices. The HOT-679 supports 3.3 V A.G.P. devices with data transfer rates up to 133
MHz, allowing data throughput of 500 MB/sec.
The Intel's 82440BX AGPset chipset provides an integrated Bus Mastering IDE control-
ler with two high performance IDE interfaces which allows up to four IDE devices
connection and up to 33 MB/sec of data transfer rates.
The on-board I/O controller provides standard PC I/O functions:
floppy drive interface, two FIFO serial ports, an InDA device port and a SPP/EPP/ECP
capable parallel port.
HOT-679 is built with three PCI local bus slots providing a high bandwidth data path for
data-movement intensive functions such as graphics, and with one ISA slot.
HOT-679 provides the foundation for cost effective, high performance and highly
expandable platforms, which delivers the latest in the Intel Pentium
TM
II processor and
new advanced chipset technology.
