Intel SEPP Celeron
SEPP stands for Single Edge Processor Package. The SEPP Celeron is
similar to a Pentium-II except that it only has 128K of external cache
memory. The first generation of SEPP Celerons had no external cache
memory at all and ran at 266 MHz. These Celerons do not ship currently
but are still supported by this mainboard. SEPP Celerons are available
with clock speeds of 266 MHz through to 500 MHz. They all operate over
a 66 MHz system bus. The SEPP Celeron is less expensive than a
Pentium-II with the same clock speed.
About Socket-370 Processors
The socket-370 only supports the Intel PPGA Celeron processor.
Intel PPGA Celeron
PPGA stands for Plastic Pin Grid Array. This is a description of the
square plastic package that the processor is embedded in. The PPGA
Celeron is identical to the SEPP Celeron, except for the external
packaging. PPGA Celerons run at clock speeds from 300 MHz through
to 500 MHz. All the current PPGA Celerons operate over a 66 MHz
system bus. The PPGA Celeron is less expensive than a SEPP Celeron
with the same clock speed.
