Features
The key features of this mainboard are the wide range of
processors that can be installed, and the high level of integration.
Value-class Processors
Functioning as a platform for a value PC, the P6VPA2 features a
Socket 370 that accommodates Intel Celeron, FC-PGA Pentium
III, and VIA Cyrix III processors. The P6VPA2 supports
66/100/133 MHz FSB speeds.
VIA Apollo Pro266 Chipset
The VIA Apollo Pro266 chipset is based on an innovative and
scaleable architecture with proven reliability and performance.
The Apollo Pro266 is consists of the VT8633 V-Link Host system
controller (NB) and the VT8233 V-Link client PCI/LPC bridge
Controller.
Using an advanced V -Link memory controller architecture, the
VIA Apollo Pro266 chipset supports up to 3.0 GB of the latest
high -speed DDR200/266 SDRAM. These advanced memory
technologies provide the bandwidth and performance necessary
for even the most demanding Internet and 3D graphics. The low
2.5-volt power consumption of the DDR266 SDRAM makes it an
excellent solution for notebooks and desktops with a small
footprint. The Apollo Pro266 is configured with a 133 MHz
frontside bus, optimizing the performance of the latest Pentium
and Cyrix processors, and Celeron processors running at 66/100
MHz FSB speed.
The Apollo Pro266 supports a 4x AGP interface providing vivid
3D graphics and video performance. The ATA 100 interface on
the chipset 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, AC-97
link for audio and modem, hardware monitoring, and
ACPI/OnNow power management.
