The G586VPS Pro design is based on the VLSI Lynx system controller
chipset. It is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) CPU
socket to support various Intel
®
Pentium and Cyrix
®
6x86 CPUs.
The G586VPS Pro supports 8MB to 256MB of system memory using
EDO or fast page mode DRAM. It is equipped with 4 SIMM sockets
allowing you to install x32 or x36 SIMM. The x36 SIMM supports parity
checking which informs the user of memory failure and prevents error
accumulation. The system board also supports 256KB or 512KB fast
pipeline burst cache.
The G586VPS Pro system board has two PCI IDE connectors with bus
mastering capabilities that highly reduce 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 control-
ler, one PS/2 mouse port, one PS/2 or AT keyboard connector and one
IrDA connector for wireless connectivity between your computer and pe-
ripheral devices.
