who wants advanced features processed by the fastest processors.
2.1.1 Specifications
•
AMD Athlon™/Duron™ Processor Support: Supports Socket A-based AMD
Athlon™/Duron™ processors.
•
North Bridge System Chipset: Features the VIA VT8365 (VIA ProSavage
KM133) system controller with support for 200 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); up
to 1.5GB of PC133/PC100 / VC 133 Virtual Channel Memory (VCM) SDRAM;
complies with AGP 2.0 specifications for 4X, 2X, and 1X AGP modes; and PCI
2.2. bus interface with support for 5 PCI masters. It is optimized to deliver en-
hanced AMD Athlon™/Duron™ processor system performance.
•
"Super South" South Bridge System PCIset: VIA VT82C686B PCIset with
