Thank you for choosing the K7VTA3 motherboard. The K7VTA3 is designed to
fit the advanced AMD processors in the 462-pin package. Based on the ATX
form factor featuring the VIA KT333CF Northbridge and VT8235 Southbridge
chipsets. This motherboard accommodates AMD Athlon XP/Sempron/Athlon/
Duron processors supporting Front Side Bus (FSB) up to 333 / 266 / 200
MHz.
The VIA KT333CF chipset consists of the KT333CF Northbridge and VT8235
Southbridge. The KT333CF Northbridge provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, AGP bus, and V-Link bus with pipelined, burst, and
concurrent operation. It supports four banks of DDR Synchronous DRAMs up
to 2 GB and full AGP v2.0 capability for maximum bus utilization including 1x,
2x and 4x mode transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing), Flush/Fence commands and pipelined grants.
It also fully supports The VT8235 Southbridge supports standard intelligent
peripheral controllers such as USB v2.0/1.1 and Universal HCI v2.0/1.1 compliant, real time clock with 256 byte extended CMOS, integrated busmastering dual full-duplex direct-sound AC97 link compatible sound system
and full System Management Bus (SMBus) interface.
Sufficient expansion is provided for with one AGP slot, five 32-bit PCI slot and
an optional CNR slot. It also comes with a built-in Enhanced PCI Bus Master
PCI IDE controller that provides high-speed connections to full range of IDE
devices such as HDD and CD-ROM. This motherboard is designed in a standard ATX form factor using a 4-layer printed circuit board and measures 305
mm x 190 mm.
