The G586IPB/E, equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
CPU socket, is a fast Pentium processor system board supporting Intel
Pentium CPUs running at 75MHz, 90MHz, 100MHz, 120MHz, 133MHz,
150MHz and 166MHz frequencies. The G586IPB/E also supports Cyrix
P120+/P133+/P150+/P166+, AMD 5
K
86 75MHz, and future 200MHz
CPUs.
The G586IPB/E can support 8MB to 128MB of system memory using
EDO or fast page mode x32 DRAM. This system board also supports
pipeline burst SRAM and provides easy cache upgrade using 256KB or
512KB cache modules.
The G586IPB/E design is based on the Peripheral Component Intercon-
nect (PCI) local bus and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) stan-
dards. It is equipped with 4 dedicated PCI slots and 3 dedicated 16-bit
ISA slots.
The G586IPB/E board has two bus master PCI IDE connectors. Bus
mastering reduces CPU use during disk transfer. This system board is
also equipped with two NS16C550A-compatible serial ports, an SPP/
ECP/EPP parallel port, a floppy disk drive controller, one PS/2 mouse
port and one PS/2 or AT keyboard connector.
