MSI K7T Pro 2 Supplementary Manual

Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
The K7T Pro 2 (MS-6330) ATX VA mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on VIA
designed for the AMD
personal desktop markets.
The KT133 chipset consists of the VT8363 system controller (552
pin BGA) and the VT82C686A PCI to ISA bridge (352 pin BGA). The system
controller provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, AGP
bus, and PCI bus with pipelined burst, and concurrent operation.
The VT8363 supports six banks of DRAM's up to 1.5 GB and full
AGP v2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 1x, 2x and 4x mode
transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing), Flush/Fence commands, and
pipelined burst. The chip also supports enhanced PCI bus commands such
as Memory-Read-Line, Memory-Read-Multiple and Memory-Write-Invalid
commands to minimize snoop overhead.
The VT82C686A integrates all system control functions such as
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides
more Energy Saving Features for the OSPM (OS Direct Power Management)
function. The VT82C686A chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA-33/66 IDE that transfers data at the rate 33/66MB/
sec.
This mainboard which supports KT133 chipset coupled with
VT8363 and VT82C686A is ideal for high performance, high quality, high
energy efficiency and high integration desktop AGP/PCI/ISA computer
systems.
