Processing

The Matrox 4Sight motherboard uses a National
Semiconductor
processor includes a CPU, memory controller, display
controller, and PCI controller. The processor runs at 266 MHz
with a 64-bit external memory interface operating at 76 MHz.
The processor's companion chip provides support for
non-destructive overlay, stereo audio, and IDE connection.
External memory is provided via a 168-pin DIMM slot which
supports 32, 64 (default), and 128 Mbyte SDRAM modules. This
memory is shared between the CPU and display controller.
