INTRODUCTION
The MS-6322M/MS-6322L Micro-ATX VA mainboard is a high-
performance computer mainboard based on VIA
The MS-6322M/MS-6322L is designed for the Intel
inexpensive business/personal desktop markets.
The VT8604/VT8605/86C370 is a high performance, cost effective
and energy sufficient SMA chipset for the implementation of AGP/ PCI /ISA
desktop personal computer systems with 66MHz, 100MHz and 133MHz CPU
host bus (Front Side Bus).
The VT82C686A integrates all system control functions such as
ACPI (Advances Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides
more Energy Saving Features for the OSPM (OS Direct Power Management)
function. The VT82C686A chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA-33/66 IDE that transfers data at the rate 33/66MB/
sec.
This mainboard which supports VIA
ideal for high performance, high quality, high energy efficient and high
integration desktop AGP/PCI/ISA computer systems.
