VIA PN266T Chipset |
 |
The VIA PN266T is an efficient, cost-effective, flexible chipset
solution for mobile systems based on the Intel® Pentium® III Processor-M
and VIA C3® mobile processors, across a full spectrum of applications.
With up to 2.1 GB/s of memory bandwidth for up to 4GB of DDR266 SDRAM,
a 64-bit DDR 200/266 or PC100/133 SDRAM memory controller, and a 133
MHZ front side bus, the PN266T offers efficient system performance.
The VIA PN266T also integrates the S3 Graphics ProSavage8™ 2D/3D engine,
with internal AGP 8X bandwidth and DVD Motion Compensation optimized
for use with the Microsoft Windows® XP operating system. Shared Memory
Architecture (SMA) enables the PN266T to utilize the system memory
for frame buffer and texture memory on a 128-bit internal data path
doubled. In addition, employing low voltage DDR266 SDRAM with Intel®
Speedstep™ Technology lowers system power consumption extends battery
life and usability.
The VIA PN266T also makes use of VIA's V-Link Hub Architecture,
which provides a dedicated 266MB/s bus between the north and south
bridges. Paired with any of the VIA V-MAP 8233 Series South Bridges,
the VIA PN266T includes integrated 2 Channel AC'97 Audio, integrated
MC'97 Modem, and support for ATA 33/66/100 and 4 or more USB ports.
Options also include an integrated 3Com® networking MAC.

Benefits
Low Power Consumption
DDR Memory operates at only 2.5V, offering low power consumption.
The VIA PN266T is also fully compliant with Intel SpeedStep™ technology,
realizing the benefits of dynamic power management and extending
battery life even further.
Smooth DVD Playback and Gameplay
S3 Graphics ProSavage8 2D/3D technology with equivalent AGP 8X bandwidth
and DVD motion compensation enables quality in key applications like
DVD playback, along with smooth 3D game play.
VIA Stability and Reliability
VIA Chipset Platforms offer a balance of reliability and flexibility
derived from using proven, modular components and evolutionary design
principles.
