INTRODUCTION
The MS-6340 Micro-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 VT82C686A integrates all system control functions such as
ACPI (Advances 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 efficient and high integration desktop AGP/PCI/ISA computer
systems.
