Processor
The P6VPA2T mainboard includes a Socket 370
that has the following features:
•
Supports up to a 133 MHz frontside bus (FSB)
•
Accommodates FC-PGA Celeron, FC-PGA
Pentium III/Tualatin, and Cyrix III processors.
Chipset
The VIA Pro266T Northbridge and Southbridge
chipsets are based on an innovative and scaleable
architecture with proven reliability and performance.
A few of the chipset's advanced features are:
•
An advanced V-Link memory controller archi-
tecture that provides the bandwidth and
performance necessary for even the most
demanding Internet and 3D graphics
•
A low 2.5-volt DDR266 SDRAM power con-
sumption which makes it an excellent solution
for notebooks and desktops with a small foot-
print
•
Support for a 4xAGP interface providing vivid
3D graphics and video performance
•
An ATA 100 interface on the chipset, which
helps boost system performance by providing
a high-speed connection to ATA 100 Hard
Disk Drives, delivering maximum sustained
data transfer rates of 100 MB/sec
Additional key features include support for six
USB ports, an AC 97 link for audio and HSP mo-
dem, and ACPI/OnNow power management.
Memory
The mainboard accommodates DDR200/266
(PC1600/PC2100) DDR SDRAM (Double Data
Rate Synchronous DRAM) up to 3 GB using three
2.5V unbuffered DIMM modules.
VGA
The P6VPA2T includes a 4xAGP slot that pro-
vides four times the bandwidth of the original AGP
specification. AGP technology 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.
