This was the genesis of the current DDR
SDRAM device design and manufacturing efforts.
Nevertheless, and in spite of the unknowns, a general overview and explanation of where
SDRAM and other future technologies may head will serve to give us a better grasp of key issues.
Via is working on a chipset that will support PC-133
SDRAM memory, which it and others have positioned as an "evolutionary alternative" to Intel's proposed support for Direct Rambus memory.
It supports up to 512MB of
SDRAM, with dual USB connectors and four PCI slots.
Other features include two serial ports, four USB ports, a PCI Bus Master 10/100Base-TX Ethernet controller and support for up to 512MB DDR
SDRAM.
The model comes equipped with a 20-GB 7200 rpm Quiet Seek and Idle SMART IIII Ultra ATA/100 hard drive, 128-MB
SDRAM, a CD-ROM Drive and a removable 1.44-MB diskette drive.

Those include finalizing the introduction of PC133MHz
SDRAM parts, seen as a stepping stone for DDR 266MHz technology.
The miniature MCP consists of a combination of memory chips, such as SRAM,
SDRAM, NOR Flash memory and NAND Flash memory, and has a total capacity of 776 megabits (Mb) in one sample application.
