Central Processing Unit
This motherboard is designed to operate with a single Intel Pentium
®
II microprocessor.
The Pentium II processor includes the following features:
•
Intel's highest performance processor, combining the power of the Pentium
®
Pro
processor with the capabilities of MMX™ technology.
•
At 266MHz, the Pentium II processor delivers a 1.6x to over 2x performance boost
compared to the 200MHz Pentium processor on industry standard processor
benchmarks(1) and over twice the performance on multimedia benchmarks(2).
•
Takes advantage of the same high-performance Dual Independent Bus architecture
used in the Pentium Pro processor for high bandwidth and performance.
•
Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.) cartridge packaging technology delivers high
performance processing and bus technology to mainstream systems. The cartridge
includes the processor core, second-level cache, thermal plate, and back cover.
•
Optimized for 32-bit applications running on advanced operating systems.
•
32KByte (16K/16K) non-blocking level one cache. 512KByte unified, non-blocking
level two cache.
•
Enables systems which are scalable up to two processors and 64GByte of physical
memory.
•
Data integrity and reliability features include system bus ECC, Fault Analysis,
Recovery, and Functional Redundancy Checking.
Memory
Support for up to 384 MBytes synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) using three DIMM sockets
with 168-pin DIMM modules.
The motherboard supports the following memory features:
•
168-pin 3.3 V EDO DIMMs.
•
66 MHz unbuffered SDRAM.
•
Non-ECC (64-bit) or ECC (72-bit) memory.
