VIA TwisterT VT8606 (ProSavage PN133T Chipset)
The VIA Apollo PLE133T combines integrated AGP 4X graphics and AC'97 audio
capabilities with support for PC133 SDRAM to provide a highly scalable solution for
building Value PCs using the industry standard Socket 370 platform. The VIA Apollo
PLE133T is also fully compatible with both the Intel® Pentium® III and Intel® Celeron™
processors, as well as the VIA C3™ processor. Its support for PC133 SDRAM ensures
memory bandwidth for Internet applications at minimal cost. In combination with the VIA
VT82C686B South Bridge Controller, the VIA PLE133T includes integrated 10/100 BaseT
Ethernet and home PNA controller, AC'97 audio, MC'97 modem, Super I/O, hardware
monitoring capabilities, and support for four USB ports, ATA-100, and Advanced Power
Management. The following functionality listed below:

Featuring a new super-pipelined 128-bit engine, TwisterT utilizes a single cycle architecture
that provides high performance along with superior image quality. Several new features
enhance the 3D architecture, including single-pass multitexturing, anisotropic filtering, and
an 8-bit stencil buffer. TwisterT also offers the industry＇s only simultaneous usage of
single-pass multitexturing and single-cycle trilinear filtering – enabling stunning image
quality without performance loss. TwisterT further enhances image quality with true 32-bit
color rendering throughout the 3D pipeline to produce more vivid and realistic images.
TwisterT＇s advanced triangle setup engine provides industry leading 3D performance for
a realistic user experience in games and other interactive 3D applications. The 3D engine is
optimized for AGP texturing from system memory.
