Overview
The Advance 6A green mainboard utilizes the VIA PLE133 chipset consists of the VIA8601A
(North Bridge) and the VT82C686A(South Bridge) , the other Advance 6B green mainboard
utilizes the VIA PLE133 chipset consists of the VIA8601A (North Bridge) and the
VT82C686B(South Bridge). The VIA PLE133 integrates AGP 2D/3D graphics accelerator to
provide high graphics performance and cost-effective PC/MATX Platform. The VIA PLE133
chipset also provides new features with UltraDMA66/100 and AC’97 audio. Equipped with
two memory module sockets to support PC100/PC133MHz SDRAM. It also provides ad-
vanced features such as wake-up on LAN, wake-up on modem. BootEasy, our new tech-
nology shorten the long boot process time of computer.
