Processor
Functioning as a platform for a value PC, this
mainboard features a Socket 370 that accommo-
dates PPGA Celeron, Pentium III, and Cyrix III
processors. It supports 66/100/133 MHz FSB
speeds.
Chipset
VIA VT82C694X Northbridge
This board features the VIA VT82C694X NB
(North Bridge) chipset, enabling synchronous and
asynchronous frequency operation between the
processor and the memory over a wide frequency
range. The NB chipset is optimized for Pentium III
processors at 66/100/133 MHz Front Side Bus
(FSB) frequency and supports 32-bit processor
bus addressing.
The integrated DRAM controller supports up to
four double-sided DIMMs consisting of EDO,
SDRAM, or VCM SDRAM. The NB chipset pro-
vides SDRAM with 64-bit data access.
The AGP interface is AGP specification Rev 2.0
compliant, and supports 2x/4x 3.3/1.5V devices.
The PCI bus interface complies with PCI Rev. 2.1,
and supports 3.3V and power supplies. Four PCI
bus masters are supported in addition to the host
and PCI-to-ISA I/O bridge.
VIA VT82C686B Southbridge
The VIA VT82C686B SB (South Bridge) chipset
comes in a 352-pin BGA package. The PCI to ISA
Bridge has an integrated ISA bus controller with
integrated DMA, timer, and interrupt controllers.
The Real Time Clock features extended 256 byte
CMOS RAM and a day and month alarm for the
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Inter-
face).UltraDMA 33/66/100 master mode EIDE
controller with
enhanced PCI bus commands.
There is an integrated USB controller with a built-
in root hub and four function ports.
