Thank you for choosing the SV266AD mainboard. The SV266AD is a high
performance and high quality mainboard which is built around the latest and
fastest VIA VT8235 chipset providing superior performance
between the CPU, DRAM, AGP bus, and V-Link bus with pipelined, burst and
concurrent operation. This mainboard supports Socket 462 that
accommodates AMD Athlon processors with a frontside bus (FSB) speeds up
to 133MHz.
The KT266A supports two banks of DDR Synchronous DRAMs up to 2GB for
unbuffered modules. It also fully supports full AGP v2.0 capability for
maximum bus utilization including 1x, 2x and 4x mode transfers, SBA
(SideBand Addressing), Flush/Fence commands and pipelined grants.
The VT8235 Southbridge supports standard intelligent peripheral controllers
such as USB v2.0/1.1 and Universal HCI v2.0/1.1 compliant, real time clock
with 256 byte extended CMOS, integrated bus-mastering dual full-duplex
direct-sound AC97 link compatible sound system and full System
Management Bus (SMBus) interface.
Sufficient expansion is provided for with one AGP slot, five 32-bit PCI slot and
an optional CNR slot. It also comes with a built-in Enhanced PCI Bus Master
PCI IDE controller that provides high-speed connections to full range of IDE
devices such as HDD and CD-ROM. This mainboard is designed in a
standard ATX form factor using a 4-layer printed circuit board and measures
305 mm x 190 mm.
