VIA
ProSavageDDR KM266
The VIA
ProSavageDDR KM266 chipset offers an unbeatable combination of
performance, flexibility and cost effectiveness enabling OEMs and System
Integrators to develop AMD Athlon™ XP and AMD Duron™ processor based
systems across the complete range of price points based on the same
mainboard platform.
The VIA
ProSavageDDR KM266 offers up to 2.1GB/s of memory bandwidth with its
support for up to 4GB DDR266 SDRAM. This provides memory intensive
applications (such as content creation, media streaming, 3D gaming, etc.)
the bandwidth they need to perform optimally and increases the data
throughput available to the integrated graphics core.
The S3
Graphics ProSavage8™ 2D/3D Accelerator with internal AGP 8X bandwidth and
DVD Motion Compensation is optimized for use with the Microsoft Windows®
XP operating system and drives integrated graphics systems to a new level.
Shared Memory Architecture (SMA) enables the ProSavageDDR KM266 to utilize
the system memory for frame buffer and texture memory on an internal data
path doubled to 128-bit capacity. Thus, the DDR memory subsystem, offering
up to 2.1GB/s of memory bandwidth, increases the overall performance of
the integrated graphics core by up to 50% over SMA chipsets based on PC133
SDRAM.
The VIA
ProSavageDDR KM266 also makes use of VIA's V-Link Hub Architecture, which
provides a dedicated 266MB/s bus between the north and south bridge. Less
advanced chipsets use the 132MB/s PCI bus as a link, which must be shared
with all PCI peripherals. VIA ProSavageDDR KM266 has a full set of
networking and communication features with the exact specification
depending on your choice of VIA V-MAP 8233 Series South Bridge. As
standard these include Integrated 2 Channel AC'97 Audio, Integrated MC'97
Modem, Support for ATA 33/66/100 and 4 or more USB ports. Options include
an integrated 3Com® networking MAC and ATA-133 Fast Drive™ depending on
your design priorities. |
