Harnessing the Power of DDR266 SDRAM for the IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor
Based on the high-performance VIA Apollo P4X266
chipset, the VIA P4XB-M mainboard combines support for high
bandwidth DDR266 SDRAM with onboard LAN and audio features to
provide a flexible and cost-effective platform for building
powerful IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 processor based PC systems and
workstations.
The VIA P4XB-M is designed to support a full range of 478-pin IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 processors and complements its 400MHz Front Side Bus with support for up to 2GB high bandwidth DDR266 SDRAM to provide all the headroom necessary for running even the most intensive Internet, multimedia, and extreme 3D gaming applications. Overall system performance is further enhanced by the high speed V-Link bus, which doubles communication bandwidth between the VIA Apollo P4X266 chipset's North and South Bridge to 266MB per second, as well as support for AGP4X and Ultra ATA-100.
Based on the compact MicroATX form factor
with dimensions of 24.3cm x 23.1cm, the VIA P4XB-M features an
onboard Realtek ALC201A AC'97 controller for high quality
audio performance and also provides room for expansion through
three PCI slots and a complete set of I/O ports, including
support for up to four USB connections.
