<blockquote><i>VIA Releases VIA Apollo P4X266A Chipset with Performance Driven Design<br><br>


Available immediately from VIA Platform Solutions Division and VIA mainboard
partners<br><br>


Taipei, Taiwan, 20 November 2001 - VIA Technologies, Inc., a leading
innovator and developer of core logic chipsets, microprocessors, and
multimedia and communications chips, today released the new VIA Apollo
P4X266A chipset, featuring Performance Driven Design in an innovative V-MAP
compatible solution. The VIA Apollo P4X266A builds upon the proven
performance and features of the ground breaking VIA Apollo P4X266 chipset by
delivering even greater memory throughput, and can be combined with the new
VIA VT8233A South Bridge featuring support for Ultra ATA/133.<br><br>


"The VIA Apollo P4X266A pushes the performance envelope for Intel* Pentium*
4 processor based systems," commented Richard Brown, Director of Marketing
for VIA Technologies, Inc. "The launch of this product further reinforces
VIA's leadership position in developing leading edge chipset solutions that
fully harness the unrivaled performance and stability of DDR266 SDRAM."<br><br>


VIA Apollo P4X266A Chipset<br>
The VIA Apollo P4X266A is an evolutionary design that improves on the
current VIA Apollo P4X266 chipset, and sports the world's fastest DDR memory
controller courtesy of Performance Driven Design. With its 400MHz Front
Side Bus, the VIA Apollo P4X266A supports a full range of Intel* Pentium* 4
processors up to and beyond 2GHz. It is also fully compatible with both the
478-pin and 423-pin versions of the Intel* Pentium* 4 processor.<br><br>


As part of the VIA Modular Architecture Platform (V-MAP), the VIA Apollo
P4X266A is fully compatible with existing mainboards based on the VIA Apollo
P4X266 or VIA ProSavageDDR P4M266 chipsets, ensuring seamless transitions to
new higher performance product designs. The VIA Apollo P4X266A is also
capable of interfacing with three unique pin-compatible South Bridges,
including the new VIA VT8233A with Ultra ATA/133 support. This allows
mainboard manufacturers, System Integrators, and OEMs to target vastly
different markets with a single unified motherboard design.<br><br>


VIA Apollo P4X266A Pricing and Availability<br>
The VIA Apollo P4X266A chipset is manufactured at TSMC in a .22 micron, 3
metal layer process, and is priced at $25 in OEM quantities. The VIA Apollo
P4X266A is widely available from both the VIA Platform Solutions Division
and the Company's mainboard partners. A photo and product backgrounder is
