Currently on the market low-end motherboard goes very strict struggle. The main players in it are companies Asus and ECS. Pravda Asus produces no budgetary charges under your name, but by unit ASrock (though in the range the company is "light" series Boards "-X"). As a result, companies second and third-line orders picked up the remnants of the market, working almost on the verge of payback.

Therefore, it was interesting the way in which the company promotes its products Canyon. Without their production facilities, the company places OEM orders from other companies. We recently tested several boards Canyon, and found that they are all models of DFI. The same can be said of the motherboard Canyon CN-9V5ALSR, the design of which is exactly the same with design fees DFI P4X533-ALE. But fee Canyon CN-9V5ALSR2 DFI detected on the site failed, but we have found it on the company's website Chaintech, called 9VJL5.

Chipset
The mere fact that VIA PT800 chipset is the single memory controller, completely overrides his way to the middle and high-end market sectors (this is tantamount to the use of Intel Pentium4 processors). Therefore, the lot remains PT800 entry-level system, using Celeron processors. In this sector, competition for the very strict: in addition to single i845 chipset (PE) and SiS 648FX, in the same sector targeted SiS chipsets and dual 655 (FX) and VIA PT880. Incidentally, motherboards based on the SiS 655 (FX) and VIA PT880 worth not more expensive!

In any event, list the specifications PT800.
Support for processors with tyres 400533800 Mgerts
Support for AGP specification version 3.0. (ie 1.5 volt support AGP 4X8X standard graphics cards)
Official support DDR200/266/333/400 DDR SDRAM memory
Regarding the southern bridge, the chip is used to its role VT8237.

Support ATA 33/66/100/133
Support consistent USB 2.0 (eight ports).
SerialATA Protocol Support (2 channels).
Integrated 6 - channel audio AC-97 (modem MC-97)
The integrated Ethernet 10/100 Ethernet Controller
It is thanks to the modern southern bridge, VIA PT800 chipset gets edge over Intel 845 chipset series (PPE), which completed ICH4 chip. Also, the possibility of expansion, VIA PT800 chipset exceeds SiS 648FX + SiS963, which has only six USB2.0 ports, and no support SerialATA (but there is support "Firewire").
