Mainboard User’s Manual
10 Microprocessor
2.4. Microprocessor
The mainboard is designed to operate with the following processors:
Processor Type Speed FSB
Intel Celeron
Intel Coppermine
Intel Coppermine
333~800+ MHz
300~800+ MHz
533~1GB+ MHz
66 MHz
100 MHz
133 MHz
VIA Cyrix III 533 MHz 133 MHz
An onboard switching voltage regulator provides the required 1.3 to
3.5 volts for the processor. The processor sends five VID (Voltage
Identification) signals to the switching voltage regulator. The switch-
ing regulator generates the correct voltage for the processor.
2.5. CPU Packaging
PGA370 CPUs are packaged in a PPGA (Integrated Circuit-Plastic
Pin Grid Array) configuration.
2.6. Chipset
The P6F117 supports the VIA 82C694X Apollo Pro-133A chipset.
The chipset comes in pairs—the North Bridge chip and the South
Bridge chip.
