Features - ECS P6VXM2 Manual

Features

The key features of this mainboard are the wide range of pro c-
essors that can be installed, and the high level of integration.
Value-class Processors
Functioning as a platform for a value PC, the P6VXM2 features
a Socket 370 that accommodates PPGA Celeron, Pentium III,
and Cyrix III processors. The P6VXM2 supports 66/100/133
MHz FSB speeds.
VIA North Bridge Chipset
This board features the VIA VT82C694X NB (North Bridge)
chipset, enabling synchronous and asynchronous frequency op-
eration between the processor and the memory over a wide
frequency range. The NB chipset is optimized for Pentium III
processors at 66/100/133 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB) frequency
and supports 32-bit processor bus addressing.
The integrated DRAM controller supports up to four double-
sided DIMMs consisting of EDO, SDRAM, or VCM SDRAM. The
NB chipset provides SDRAM with a 64-bit data interface.
The AGP interface is AGP specification Rev 2.0 compliant, and
supports 2x/4x/4x 3.3/1.5V devices. The PCI bus interface com-
plies with PCI Rev. 2.1, and supports 3.3V and power supplies.
Five PCI bus masters are supported in addition t o the host and
PCI-to-ISA I/O bridge.
VIA South Bridge Chipset
Note: The P6VXM2 supports two VIA South Bridge chipsets—the
VIA VT82C686A and the VIA VT82C686B. The VIA VT82C686A
is standard and supports UDMA33/66. The VIA VT82C686B is op-
tional and supports UDMA100.
The VIA VT82C686A SB (South Bridge) chipset comes in a 352-pin
BGA package. The PCI to ISA Bridge has an integrated ISA bus
controller with integrated DMA, timer, and interrupt controllers. The
VIA VT82C686A chipset supports UDMA33/66.
