processors.
The Pentium Pro processor has two 64-bit data buses. One bus
interconnects to the built-in L2 cache and the other is an external
bus that interconnects with the system memory, I/O and the other
processor. Both come with ECC (Error Checking and Correction)
allowing for the correction of single-bit data errors and detection of
2-bit errors on the data bus.
