VIA’s KT880 Chipset Goes Global

[Tron]

The advantage of the VIA KT880 DualStream64™ technology is 8Gb of Memory installable in 4 slots.
(KT600 4Gb, Nforce: 3 Slots, but dualchannel mode supports only 2 Slots!)
And dere is the option to connect a Silicone Image SATA PHY (Physikal Layer)
to the Souhtbidge wich provides additional 2 Serial ATA connectors (4 total).
It´s calld SATAlite™ interface and provides RAID 0+1 (KT600: RAID 0, RAID 1 & JBOD)
+ the new VIA Velocity™ Gigabit Ethernet (PCI companion controller)

PS: The South Bridge VT8237 was alredy included in the KT600 with the same 533mb/sec Vlink.

PEACE - TRON
