AMD-760 MP Platform Overview:
The AMD-760 MP platform addresses the server and workstation sectors by offering the following high-level features:
- Uniprocessor and two-way symmetric multiprocessing capability, supporting AMD Athlon class processors
- Dual point-to-point 266MHz AMD Athlon system buses designed to support up to 2.1GB/s transfer rate per system bus
- 266MHz DDR (Double Data Rate) memory interface supporting up to 4GB of memory space using registered PC2100 DIMM's; ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory is also supported
- AGP-4x graphics interface, backwards-compatible with AGP-1x and 2x modes
- 33MHz/32-bit/64-bit PCI 2.2-compliant PCI bus interface
- EIDE storage controller subsystem supporting ATA-33/66/100 MB/s data rates
- System management functions
The AMD-762 system controller houses the high-speed elements critical to system performance. Contained in the AMD-762 controller are the following subsystems:
- Dual point-to-point 266MHz AMD Athlon system bus interfaces, supporting up two processors
- 266MHz DDR memory interface, supporting up to 4GB of memory space using PC2100 registered DDR memory DIMM's; ECC memory is also supported.
- AGP-4x graphics interface
- 33MHz/32-bit/64-bit PCI bus interface
- 949-pin plastic BGA (Ball-Grid Array) package
- 2.5V core
The AMD-766 peripheral bus controller> compliments the AMD-762 system controller by offering a robust I/O subsystem along with sophisticated system management capability. Embedded are the following features:
- 33MHz/32-bit PCI bus interface
- ATA-33/66/100 EIDE interface
- Four-port OHCI USB host controller
- LPC (Low Pin Count) bus
- System management interface
- SMBus interface
- Real time clock (RTC)
- 256 bytes CMOS memory
- I/O APIC interrupt controller
- GPIO interface
- 272-pin BGA package
- 3.3V core and output drivers; 5V tolerant input buffers
- Adaptec AIC-7899W SCSI controller
Dual-channel Ultra160 SCSI support
160MBps maximum data throughput
Supports up to 15 LVD SCSI devices per channel
Channel A: 68-pin connector
Channel B: 68-pin connector
