HOT-671isa highlyintegratedIBM PC/ATcompatiblesystem board designedto meet
theindustry'smostdemandingdesktop applications.
Basedonthe Intel 82440EXAGPsetchipset, theIntelPentiumTMII processorwith
MMXtechnologyfeatured, and256KBor 512KB Level2 high-performance pipelined
burstsecondary168-pin DIMM socketandsupports up to256MBof EDO RAMand
SDRAM.
HOT-671isequipped with anAcceleratedGraphics Port (A.G.P.),ahigh-performance
interconnectforgraphic-intensiveapplication,such as3D applications.TheA.G.P. is
independentofthe PCI busandis designedtoexclusively use withgraphical-display
devices.TheHOT-671 supports3.3V A.G.P.deviceswith datatransferrates upto133
MHz,allowingdata throughputof500 MB/sec.
TheIntel's82440EX AGPset chipsetprovides an integratedBusMastering IDEcontrol-
lerwithtwo highperformance IDEinterfaceswhich allowsupto fourIDE devices
connectionandup to 33MB/secof datatransferrates.
Theon-board I/Ocontroller providesstandardPCI/Ofunctions:
floppydriveinterface, two FIFOserialports, an InDAdeviceport and aSPP/EPP/ECP
capable parallel port.
HOT-671isbuilt withthreePCI local busslots providing ahighbandwidth datapathfor
data-movementintensivefunctions such asgraphics,and with oneISAslot.
HOT-671provides thefoundation forcost effective,high performanceand highly
expandableplatforms,whichdeliversthelatestin theIntel PentiumTM IIprocessorand
