The MS6382 MICRO ATX mainboard is a high performance compu-
ter mainboard based on KT266/VT8366 and VT8233 chipset. The KT266
chipset is ideal for high quality and high integration desktop and notebook
AGP/PCI/LPC computer systems based on Socket A processors.
The VT8366 Host system controller provides superior perfromance
between CPU, DRAM, AGP bus, and V-Link bus with pipelined, burst, and
concurrent operation. The VT8233 V-Link Client controller is a highly
integrated PCI/LPC controller. It supports five PCI slots of arbitration and
decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus.
For sophisticated power management, the Apollo KT266 chipset
provides independent clock stop control for the CPU/SDRAM, PCI, and
AGP buses and Dynamic CKE control for powering down of the SDRAM. A
seperate suspend-well plane is implemented for the SDRAM control signals
for the Suspend-to-DRAM operation.
