Model	Code name	Released	CPU support	FSB/HT (MHz)	Southbridge	Features / Notes
AMD-640 chipset	AMD-640		K6, Cyrix 6x86, Pentium	66 (FSB)	AMD-645	AMD licensed VIA Technologies' Apollo VP2/97

AMD-760MPX chipset	AMD-762	May 2001	Athlon MP	133 (FSB)	AMD-768	AGP 4×, Hardware RNG Most initial boards shipped without USB headers due to a fault with the integrated USB controller. Manufacturers included PCI USB cards to cover this shortcoming. A later refresh of the chipset had the USB problem remedied.^{[citation needed]}
