Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction
IMB-X63 With its rich AGP 4X integrated graphics capabilities, flexible FSB settings, and support for DDR
SDRAM, the IMB-X63 delivers excellent levels of scalability and performance on a cost-effective, High
integrated platform designed for the specific needs of the Automation, POS, Information PC, and Internet
Appliance market segments.
Low power VIA C3 CPU + VIA CLE266 – Ultimate Value Combination
IMB-X63 optimizes the performance of the VIA Low power Processor while its integrated AGP 4X graphics
engine delivers rich graphics capabilities for running 2D/3D software and Internet applications. Its highly
scaleable asynchronous bus design also makes it the ideal solution for VIA low power processors running
at 100/133MHz FSB speeds. With an advanced memory controller architecture, the IMB-X63 supports up
to 2GB of DDR/PC2100 SDRAM. These advanced memory technologies provide the bandwidth and
performance necessary for even the most demanding Internet and 3D graphics applications. Further
integrated CPU & multimedia & connectivity features that help minimize the cost of building automation
and Internet Appliances without sacrificing features and performance include an integrated 10/100
Base-T Ethernet controller, AC-97 audio, MC-97 modem, Super I/O, hardware monitoring capabilities,
plus support for six USB ports, ATA 100, and advanced power management.
