Processor The KOB KT266A FDSX mainboard uses an AMD 462-pin
Socket A that has the following features:
• Supports 100/133 MHz frontside bus (FSB)
• Accommodates AMD Athlon/Duron processors
Chipset The VIA KT266A Northbridge and VT8233A Southbridge chipsets
are based on an innovative and scalable architecture with proven
reliability and performance. A few of the chipset’s advanced fea-
tures are:
• An advanced V-Link memory controller architecture that
provides the bandwidth of 266MB/sec and performance
necessary for even the most demanding Internet and 3D
graphics
• A low 2.5-volt DDR266 SDRAM power consumption
which makes it an excellent solution for notebooks and
desktops with a small footprint
• Support for a 4xAGP interface providing vivid 3D graphics
and video performance
• An ATA 133 interface on the chipset, which helps boost
system performance by providing a high-speed connec-
tion to ATA 133 Hard Disk Drives, delivering maximum
sustained data transfer rates of 133 MB/sec
Additional key features include support for four USB ports, an
AC 97 link for audio and modem and hardware monitoring.
Note: This mainboard incorporates either VT8233A or
VT8233 Southbridge chipset. For VT8233
Southbridge chipset, the mainboard includes four
USB ports.
VGA The KOB KT266A FDSX includes a 4xAGP slot that provides four
times the bandwidth of the original AGP specification. AGP tech-
nology provides a direct connection between the graphics sub-
system and the processor so that the graphics do not have to
compete for processor time with other devices on the PCI bus.
Memory The mainboard accommodates the following memory configu-
rations:
• DDR (Double Data Rate) PC1600/PC2100 SDRAM up to 2
GB using two 2.5V DIMM modules
• SDRAM up to 2 GB using two 3.3V DIMM modules
AC 97 Audio
Codec
The AC 97 Audio codec is compliant with the AC 97 2.2 speci-
fication, and supports 18-bit ADC (Analog Digital Converter)
and DAC (Digital Analog Converter) resolution as well as 18-
bit stereo full-duplex codec with independent and variable
sampling rates. Further features include support for four ana-
log line-level stereo inputs.
Expansion
Options
The mainboard comes with the following expansion options:
• Five 32-bit PCI slots
• An 4xAGP slot
• A Communications Network Riser (CNR) slot
• Two IDE connectors which support four IDE channels and
a floppy disk drive interface
