Elitegroup L7VTA

Elitegroup L7VTA ... chipsets, this mainboard provides the standard 100/133/166MHz front side bus with extra capability.

The Apollo KT400 chipset consists of the KT400 Northbridge and VT8235 Southbridge. The KT400 Northbridge provides superior performance between the CPU, DRAM, AGP bus, and 8X V-Link bus with pipelined, burst, and con-current operation. It supports eight banks of DDR Synchronous DRAMs up to 4 GB for registered modules and full AGP 3.0 capability bus utilization including 2x, 4x, and 8x mode transfers, SideBand Addressing, Flush/Fence commands and pipelined grants.

The VT8235 Southbridge supports standard intelligent peripheral controllers such as USB v2.0/1.1 and Universal HCI v2.0/1.1 compliant, real time clock with 256 byte extended CMOS, integrated bus-mastering dual full-duplex direct-sound AC97 link compatible sound system and full System Management Bus (SMBus) interface.

The L7VTA is equipped with advanced full set of I/O ports, such as dual channel IDE interfaces, a floppy controller, two high-speed serial port, an EPP/ECP capable bi-directional parallel port connector, four USB (Universal Serial Bus) connector, a PS/2 keyboard, mouse and 1394a connectors. One AGP slot, five PCI local bus slots and one communication and networking riser (CNR) slot provide expandability for add-on peripheral cards.
