The MS-6334 Micro-ATX S5 mainboard is a high-performance
computer mainboard based on Intel
®
815 chipset. The MS-6334 is optimized
to support the Intel
®
Pentium
®
III (FC-PGA) processor for high-end busi-
ness/personal desktop markets.
The Intel
®
815 chipset integrates a Display Cache SDRAM control-
ler that supports a 32-bit 133MHz SDRAM array for enhanced integrated 3D
graphics performance. It is a highly-flexible chipset which is designed to
extend the basic graphics/multimedia PC platform up to the mainstream
performance desktop platform.
The Intel
®
815 chipset implements the host address, control, and
data bus interfaces within a single device. It takes advantage of the
pipelined addressing capability of the processor to improve the overall
system performance. In addition, the chipset also integrates a system
memory controller that supports a 64-bit 100/133 MHz SDRAM array.
The Intel
®
82801AA (ICH) chipset is a highly integrated
multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that provides the interface to the PCI Bus
and integrates many of the functions needed in today’s PC platforms. It
communicates with the host controller over a dedicated hub interface and
provides added flexibility in designing cost-effective system solutions.
