The mainboard is based on the VIA Apollo CLE266 chipset that supports up to 2GB of PC2100 DDR SDRAM and a 133MHz system bus and has an integrated graphics core.

The South Bridge (VIA VT8235) connects to the North Bridge through the V-Link bus that provides a peak bandwidth of 266MB/s. The Bridge supports ATA/133, USB 2.0 and AC’97 audio and has interfaces to the network controller and a multi-functional I/O controller that supports devices that don’t require high data-transfer rates: floppy drive, keyboard, mouse and COM/LPT ports.

The RTL8100 chip from Realtek, specifically designed for integration onto mainboards, serves as a network controller. The I/O controller, VT1211 chip from VIA Technologies, besides its standard functions supports hardware monitoring of voltages, CPU temperature and rotational speeds of two fans.

Curiously, the mainboard from Gigabyte potentially supports floppy drives and attachment of hard drives to standard connectors, but the necessary connectors are not present on the PCB:

CLE266 chipset features an integrated graphics core, but two other chips are used for supplying signals to S-Video and DVI-I outputs, respectively. They are VIA VT1622 and VT1632 chips. The former is a TV-encoder that supports resolutions up to 1024x768 and outputs in PAL/NTSC standards and the latter is a DVI transmitter with a conversion frequency of up to 165MHz and support of resolutions up to 1600x1200.
