Chipsets And Corresponding Processors

* KX133 Chipset: The FSB of current Athlons (K7) should not exceed 100 MHz (x2 or Double Data Rate). The clock rate of 133 MHz for the memory interface is produced by an addition of FSB and PCI clock.
** beyond 'official' specification, AGP divisor is locked at 2/3 of the system bus, i.e. the AGP bus runs at 88.8 MHz when the FSB is 133 MHz, default would be 66.6 MHz Bus System, also referred to as Front Side Bus (FSB)

n/ain this case only PCI slots (132 MByte/s) are supported
AGP 1Xdedicated graphics card bus with a max. transfer rate of 266 MByte/s
AGP 2Xdedicated graphics card bus with a max. transfer rate of 528 MByte/s
AGP 4Xdedicated graphics card bus with a max. transfer rate of 1 GByte/s
IDE (ATA) Interface
UDMA66max. HDD transfer rate of 66.6 MByte/s using bus mastering (minimizes CPU utilisation)
UDMA33max. HDD transfer rate of 33.3 MByte/s using bus mastering (minimizes CPU utilisation)
PIO4max. HDD transfer rate of 16.6 MByte/s not using bus mastering (leads to strong CPU utilisation)
