VIA continues to improve their market share with a stream of successful chipsets.
VIA purchased S3 graphics to improve their market share by implementing S3 graphics onto their already successful chipsets for a low cost integrated solution. It has long been known that the AMD Duron is the dominant low cost processor in the market, but until recently has not had a low cost platform for it to be paired with. We have shown you the benefits of the integrated S3 graphics on the VIA KM133 chipset and also the 133 Front Side Bus performance gain of the VIA KT133A chipset. The Soltek SL-75MIV is the first KM133 A board to the market. Though it is a Micro-ATX board, it still boasts a nice feature set.
