Processor
The mainboard uses an AMD 462-pin Socket A that has the
following features:
•
Supports 100/133 MHz frontside bus (FSB)
•
Accommodates AMD Athlon XP/Athlon/Duron processors
Chipset
The VIA KT333 (VT8367) Northbridge and VT8233A
Southbridge chipsets are based on an innovative and scale-
able architecture with proven reliability and performance. A few
of the chipset's advanced features are:
•
An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture that
provides the bandwidth and performance necessary for
even the most demanding Internet and 3D graphics
•
A low 2.5-volt DDR333 SDRAM power consumption
which makes it an excellent solution for notebooks and
desktops with a small footprint
•
Support for a 4xAGP interface providing vivid 3D graphics
and video performance
•
An ATA 133 interface on the chipset, which helps boost
system performance by providing a high-speed connec-
tion to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, delivering maximum
sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec
Additional key features include support for four USB ports, an
AC 97 link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring, and
ACPI/OnNow power management.
Note: This mainboard incorporates either VT8233A or
Memory
The mainboard accommodates DDR200/266/333 or
PC1600/PC2100/PC2700 DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate
Synchronous DRAM) up to 3 GB using three 2.5V unbuffered
DIMM modules.
VGA
The K7VTA3 includes a 4xAGP slot that provides four times
the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. AGP technol-
ogy provides a direct connection between the graphics sub-
system and the processor so that the graphics do not have to
compete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.
AC 97 Audio
The AC 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2.2 speci -
Codec
fication, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Converter)
and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as well as 18-bit
stereo full-duplex codec with independent and variable sam-
pling rates. Further features include support for four analog
line-level stereo inputs.
USB
USB 1.1
The VT8233A Southbridge chipset features the USB 1.1 speci -
fication which can support for four USB ports. While, VT8233
Southbridge chipset can support for six USB ports.
However, if the mainboard comes with VIA VT6202, then the
mainboard supports the USB 2.0 specification.
USB 2.0 (optional)
The VIA VT6202 PCI USB 2.0 Controller is compliant with
Universal Serial Bus Specification Revision 2.0.
VT8233 Southbridge chipset.
