PENTIUM II
®
Slot 1
The slot 1 is a 242-pin slot design for PENTIUM II
, single edge contact cartridge, along with a
programmable voltage regulator for the CPU core. It provides users with a performance upgrade path to
PENTIUM II
®
technology. The motherboard includes a switching voltage regulator which supports core
voltages from 1.8V to 3.5V PENTIUM II
processors running at 233, 266 MHz and higher frequencies.
The regulator makes use of the VID capabilities to automatically adjust its voltage output to match that of
the installed processor, which eliminated the traditional jumper settings.
PENTIUM II
PROCESSOR CARD
The PENTIUM II
processor integrates second level cache and cache controller that was
previously implemented on the motherboard. The internal non-blocking L2 cache on the
233, 266 MHz processors card is 512k KB cache.
The PENTIUM II
®
processor card maintains full backward compatibility with the 8086,
80286, Intel386
TM
, Intel486
TM
and Pentium
®
processors. It also has a numeric coprocessor
that significantly increases the speed of floating point operations, while maintaining
backward compatibility with the i486DX math coprocessor and complying with ANSI/IEEE
standard 754-1985.
CELERON
®
PPGA 370 SOCKET
The PPGA 370 socket is a 370-pin socket design for 370 CELERON
, along with a programmable voltage
regulator for the CPU core. The motherboard includes a switching voltage regulator which supports core
voltages from 1.3V to 3.5V CELERON
processors. The regulator makes use of the VID capabilities to
automatically adjust its voltage output to match that of the installed processor, which eliminated the
traditional jumper settings.
CPU FAN Connector
The CPU FAN connector connects to the power supply of the CPU fan.
