VPX-64 64bit/66MHz PCI Controller
The VPX-64 64bit PCI Controller (model number VT8101) is a companion chip that allows existing VIA chipsets to support high-bandwidth 64bit PCI in both 33MHz and 66MHz modes. VPX-64 enables VIA Apollo chipsets to offer up to 533MB/s of PCI bandwidth for high end peripherals like Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel and Ultra SCSI/320 and is perfect for implementation in server systems based on the VIA Apollo P4X266. VPX-64 also supports up to six traditional 32bit/33MHz PCI devices, allowing VPX-64 equipped system designs to support no less than 10 PCI devices, and up to 12 in total. VPX-64 is available in a 27x27mm, 265 pin PGA package. VPX-64 interfaces directly to the dual mode AGP/XIP port present in existing V-MAP compatible chipsets.

VIA Stability and Reliability
VIA Apollo chipsets benefit from the most advanced design, manufacturing and testing processes yielding the industry's most reliable and stable system platforms.

Power Efficient and Innovative
DDR266 lowers memory power consumption to 2.5 volts, balancing the power hungry processor, while features like the integrated 3Com 10/100 Mb Ethernet Media Access Controller add value in an innovative, cost effective form.

Flexible and Cost Efficient
The VIA Apollo P4X266 has flexibility built in, with support for DDR266 SDRAM, PC133 and PC100 SDRAM, enabling system builders to choose the specification that best fits their desired functionality and target price points, while taking advantage of the cost and reliability benefits of SDRAM infrastructure.

Ultra High Performance Platform
The VIA Apollo P4X266 is the most cohesive, powerful chipset platform for the Intel Pentium? 4 processor with support for up to 4GB of high speed, power efficient DDR SDRAM with 64 bit 266MHz memory bus, ultra fast 400MHz Front Side Bus, and 266MB per second V-link hub architecture connecting the North and South Bridge.

The VIA Apollo P4X266 also supports PC133 SDRAM to provide the scalability that OEMs and System Integrators need to build systems spanning a complete spectrum of price points using a single platform. In addition to a host of performance features such as AGP4X and ATA 100 support, the P4X266 features an integrated 3Com 10/100Mb Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) in the VT8233C South Bridge to make it the optimum chipset for network ready desktop solutions. Additional features include integrated AC'97 audio, MC'97 modem support, 6 USB ports, and Advanced Power Management.
