Introduction
_______________________________
OCTEK JAGUAR V-386DX consists of 32-bit 80386
microprocessor, a large cache memory and highly
integrated chipsets to provide high performance,
reliability and compatibility. OCTEK JAGUAR V-386DX is a
perfect choice for CAD/CAM workstation and file server
and supports sophisticated 32-bit computing applications
and multi-user operating systems.
To speed up the performance of the system, built-
in 8KB cache memory to support 16MB cacheable
memory. Frequently used program codes can be fetched
by CPU from the high speed cache memory without wait
state. Furthermore, access to the main memory is
accelerated because the cache controller and the
memory controller are integrated together, and operate
concurrently. Thus the overhead of accessing the main
memory is minimized.
Aimed at supporting advanced CAD/CAM
applications, OCTEK JAGUAR V-386DX supports INTEL
80387 or compatible. The total memory on board is
32MB.
Compatibility and reliability are important issues.
I/O channel is compatible to standard AT bus. Therefore
any AT compatible peripherals may be used on
OCTEK JAGUAR V-386DX. On board POWERGOOD
generator is essential to ensure the reliability of the
system and is well-designed to work with all power
supplies.
