• North Bridge System Chipset: Features the VIA VT82C694X system controller
or VIA Apollo Pro133A PCI-to-ISA bridge with support for AGP 4x mode; 133/
100/66MHz Front Side Bus (FSB); 133MHz memory bus; AC97 audio; MC97
modem; UltraDMA/66 / UltraDMA/33; and four USB ports.
South Bridge System Chipset: VIA VT82C686A PCIset with PCI Super I/O
integrated peripheral controller supports UltraDMA/66, which allows burst mode
data transfer rates of up to 66.6MB/sec.
PC133 Memory / VCM / HSDRAM Support: Equipped with four Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) sockets to support Intel PC133/PC100-compliant (8,
