Chipset The VIA Apollo Pro266 consists of the VT8633 V-Link DDR Host system controller and the VT8233 highly integrated V-Link Client PCI/LPC controller. The Host system controller provides superior performance between the CPU, SDRAM, AGP bus, and V-Link interface with pipelined, burst, and concurrent operation. The VT8233 V-Link Client controller is a highly integrated PCI/LPC controller. Its internal bus structure is based on 66MHz PCI bus that provides 2x bandwidth compare to previous generation PCI/ISA bridge chips. The VT8233 integrated Client V-Link controller with 266MB/s bandwidth between Host/Client V-Link interface, provides a V-Link-PCI and V-Link-LPC controller. Of six PCI slots provided, AX37D Plus supports four master PCI slots with arbitration and decoding for all integrated functions and LPC bus, and two slave PCI slots; while AX37D Pro supports five master PCI slots with arbitration and decoding functions also and one slave PCI slot. Expansion Slots Including six 32-bit/33MHz PCI, one CNR and one AGP 4X slots. The PCI local bus throughput can be up to 132MB/s. The Communication & Nectworking Riser (CNR) slot provided from AX37D Plus / AX37D Pro can support CNR interface for a Modem/Audio card. The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) specification provides a new level of video display sophistication and speed. The AGP video cards support data transfer rate up to 1066MB/s. As AX37D Plus / AX37D Pro includes one AGP expansion slot for a bus mastering AGP graphic card, For AD and SBA signaling, AX37D Plus / AX37D Pro can support 133MHz 2X/4X mode. 11 AX37D Plus / AX37D Pro Memory Online Manual With VIA Apollo Pro266 chipset, the AX37D Plus / AX37D Pro can support Double-Data-Rate (DDR) SDRAM. The DDR SDRAM interface allows zero wait state bursting between the SDRAM and the data buffers at 66/100/133MHz.
