VIA 693 Chipset Motherboard
With its 133MHz Front Side Bus, the VIA 693 chipset optimizes the performance of

Intel𦲷 Pentium𦲷 III, Intel𦲷 Celeron萾 and VIA C3萾 processors while its highly scaleable asynchronous bus design

also makes it the ideal solution to fully harness processor FSB speeds of 66/100/133MHz.

Through its advanced memory controller architecture, the VIA 693 chipset supports up to 1.5GB of high-speed PC133 SDRAM and VC133 DRAM.

These advanced memory technologies provide the bandwidth and performance necessary for even the most demanding Internet

and 3D graphics applications at a minimal cost premium over PC100 SDRAM.

The AGP2X interface on the VIA 693 chipset ensures vivid 3D graphics and video performance

while the ATA 66 interface helps boost system performance by providing a high-speed connection to powerful ATA 66 Hard Disk Drives,

delivering maximum sustained data transfer rates of 66MB/sec.


The VIA 596B Mobile South Bridge handles Ultra ATA 66 duties.
