the S2k system interface supports a 100Mhz clock and double-data rate
(DDR) transfers, the 33MHz 32-bit PCI bus interface supports up to five
masters, the 66MHz AGP 1.0 compliant interface supports 2x data transfer
mode, and High Speed memory designed to support a 100MHz SDRAM (PC-
100-compatible-DIMM) with serial presence detect(PSD). The AMD
peripheral bus controllers feature an integrated ISA bus controller, an
enhanced IDE controller with Ultra DMA-66 support, and a keyboard/mouse
controller.
