2.4. Microprocessor
The mainboard is designed to operate with the following processors:
Processor Type Speed FSB
Intel Pentium 200/233 MHz 66 MHz
AMD 6x86, K6,
K6-2, K6-3 233/266/300 MHz
300 ~ 550+ MHz
333/380/475 MHz 66 MHz
100 MHz
95 MHz
Cyrix/IBM
6x86/6x86MX MIIPR 200/233 MHz
MIIPR 266/333 MHz
MIIPR 366 MHz 75 MHz
83 MHz
100 MHz
An onboard switching voltage regulator provides the required 1.8 to
3.5 volts for the processor. The processor sends five VID (Voltage
Identification) signals to the switching voltage regulator. The
switching regulator generates the correct voltage for the processor.
2.5. CPU Packaging
Socket 7 and Super7 CPUs are packaged in an SPGA (Staggered Pin
Grid Array) configuration. Socket 7 uses an SPGA socket, either a
296-pin LIF or a 321-pin ZIF.
The Super7 specification from AMD allows non-Intel CPU chips to
take advantage of faster bus speeds and newer peripheral technolo-
gies. Super7 adds support for AGP, USB, Ultra ATA and the 100
MHz bus.
