Hmmm... the companion chip is different. What VIA1617A is used for?
The VIA1717A, or AD1980, is the soundchips
and what VIA 8237 is used for?
The 8237 is the chipset responsible for general I/O ('southbridge').
OK, and what is AC97 ? Is this = VIA1617A ?
AC97 is the interface/protocol by which the soundchip gets data from the bus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC97 Theo -- Theo v.
