Overview
The SUPER P6DBS/P6DBE/P6DBU/P6SBU/P6SBS/P6SBA/P6SBM supports
Pentium II 233/266/300/333 MHz and *Celeron 266/300 or higher processors at
a 66MHz bus speed or Pentium II 350/400 MHz processors at a 100MHz bus
speed. The SUPER P6DBU/P6DBS/P6DBE supports dual Pentium II proces-
sors, while the SUPER P6SBU/P6SBS/P6SBA/P6SBM supports a single
Pentium II processor. All seven motherboards are based on Intel’s 440BX
chipset, which enables 66/100 MHz system bus speed, Accelerated Graphics
Port (AGP), Wake-on-LAN
, SDRAM, concurrent PCI and Ultra DMA 33 MB/s
burst data transfer rate.
While all of the motherboards are ATX form factor, the P6DBU and P6DBE have
5 PCI and 2 ISA with one shared slot. The SUPER P6DBS, P6SBU, P6SBS and
P6SBA have 4 PCI and 3 ISA with one shared slot, and the SUPER P6SBM has
3 PCI and 1 ISA with one shared slot. All seven motherboards have the AGP port,
and all but the P6SBM can accommodate a total of 1 GB EDO at 66 MHz or 512
MB unbuffered SDRAM or 1 GB registered SDRAM memory with 4 168-pin DIMM
sockets. The SUPER P6SBM can accommodate 768 MB registered or 384 MB
unbuffered SDRAM.
AGP reduces contention with the CPU and I/O devices by broadening the band-
width of graphics to memory. It delivers a maximum of 532 MB/s 2x transfer
mode which is quadruple the PCI speed!
Wake-On-LAN allows remote network management and configuration of the PC,
even in off-hours when the PC is turned off. This reduces the complexity of
managing the network.
Other features that maximize customer satisfaction and simplicity in managing
the computer are PC 98-ready and support for Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI). With PC Health Monitoring, you can protect your system from
problems before they even occur.
*Note: Celeron is single processor only
