INTRODUCTION
TheK7TPro2(MS-6330)ATXVAmainboardisahigh-performance
computer mainboard based on VIA®KT133 chipset. The K7T Pro 2 is
designed for the AMD®Socket processor for inexpensive business/
personal desktop markets.
The KT133 chipset consists of the VT8363 system controller (552
pinBGA)andtheVT82C686APCItoISAbridge(352pinBGA). Thesystem
controller provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, AGP
bus, and PCI bus with pipelined burst, and concurrent operation.
The VT8363 supports six banks of DRAM’s up to 1.5 GB and full
AGPv2.0capabilityformaximumbus utilization including1x,2x and 4xmode
transfers, SBA (SideBand Addressing), Flush/Fence commands, and
pipelined burst. The chip also supports enhanced PCI bus commands such
asMemory-Read-Line,Memory-Read-Multipleand Memory-Write-Invalid
commands to minimize snoop overhead.
The VT82C686A integrates all system control functions such as
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface). The ACPI provides
more Energy Saving Features for the OSPM (OS Direct Power Management)
function. The VT82C686A chipset also improves the IDE transfer rate by
supporting Ultra DMA-33/66 IDE that transfers data at the rate 33/66MB/
sec.
This mainboard which supports KT133 chipset coupled with
VT8363andVT82C686Ais idealforhighperformance,highquality,high
energy efficiency and high integration desktop AGP/PCI/ISA computer
systems.
