Key Features
*Requires onboard audio Codec or ACR expansion slot on the motherboard.
In combination with the VIA VT8233 South Bridge Controller (see the block diagram below), the VIA Pro266T supports 3Com 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Controller, HomePNA, AC'97 audio, and MC'97
modem. Additional key features include support for 6 USB ports, ATA 100 and Advanced Power Management.
The VIA Apollo Pro 266T is an efficient, cost-effective, flexible chipset solution for Socket 370 systems based on the Intel? Pentium? III, Intel? Celeron & VIA C3? Processors, across a full spectrum of applications. Through its V-Link memory controller architecture, the VIA Apollo Pro266T chipset supports up to 4.0GB of DDR200/266 SDRAM at a peak bandwidth of 2.1GB per second. These memory technologies provide the bandwidth and performance necessary for even demanding Internet and 3D graphics applications at a minimal cost premium over PC133 SDRAM. DDR266 SDRAM lowers memory power consumption as well, providing the ideal solution for small form factor desktops and notebooks. The VIA Pro266T has a flexible 133/100/66 MHz front side bus, and its asynchronous bus design are also ideal for Pentium? III, Celeron & VIA C3? processors. An AGP 4X/2X controller enables connection with external graphics cards, and a V-link chip interconnect offers 266MB/s of bandwidth between the North and South Bridges. |
