1-2 Chipset Overview
The VIA Apollo Pro266 chipset is a high performance, cost-effective and
energy efficient chipset for the implementation of AGP/V-Link/PCI/LPC com-
puter systems based on 64-bit, 370 Pentium III (66 MHz/100MHz/133MHz),
processors.
VIA's Apollo Pro266 chipset consists of two major components: the VT8633
V-Link Memory Host System Controller(-North-bridge) and the VT8233 V-
Link Client PCI/LPC Controller (-South-bridge). The VT8633 Host System
Controller provides superior performance between the CPU, DIMM, AGP
bus, and V-Link inferface with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation.
The VT8233 V-Link Client Controller is a highly integrated PCI/LPC controller.
Its internal bus structure is based on 66MHz PCI bus that provides 2x band-
width. The VT8233 integrated Clint V-Link Controller, which supports 266
MB bandwidth between Host/Client V-Link interface, provides a V-Link PCI
and V-Link LPC controller. It supports five PCI slots arbitration and decod-
ing for all integrated functions and LPC bus.
Memory support and AGP capability for the VT8633 chip
The VT8633 supports SDRAM memory up to 4 GB. The DRAM controller
supports SDRAM and VCSDRAM (Virtual Channel SDRAM) in a flexible mix/
match manner. The SDRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting be-
tween the DRAM and the data buffers at 66/100/133 MHz.
The VT8633 Controller also supports full AGP v.2.0 capability for maximum
bus utilization including 2x and 4x mode transfer, SBA (Side Band Address-
ing), Flush/Fence commands and pipelined grants. The VT8633 also pro-
vides flexible CPU/AGP/PCI remapping control which supports major AGP-
based 3D and DVD multimedia accelerators.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose
for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the
power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power
on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the BIOS chapter of this
manual to change this setting. The default setting is Always OFF.
