PROCESSOR
Intel® Pentium® III processor at 600EMHz - 1.0GHz
Intel® Celeron® processor at 433MHz - 850MHz
PROCESSOR PACKAGE
Intel® Pentium® III or Intel® Celeron® processor in a low-profile Socket 370 compatible package
CHIPSET
Intel® 440BX AGPset with the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) interface
SYSTEM/MEMORY BUS
Intel® 440BX AGPset supports the system/memory buses at both 66MHz and 100MHz speeds. The 100MHz system/memory buses provide a higher bandwidth path for transferring data between main memory/chip set and the processor.
CONCURRENT PCI
Maximizes system performance with simultaneous processor, PCI and AGP Bus activities. It includes multi-transaction timing, enhanced write performance, a passive release mechanism and support for PCI 2.1 compliant delayed transactions.
DATA PATH
Data/Memory 64-bit
ISA 16-bit
PCI 32-bit
Video 64-bit
BUS SPEED
ISA 8MHz (All Speeds)
PCI 33MHz (All Speeds)
System/Memory 66MHz or 100MHz (Celeron)
100MHz (Pentium III)
BIOS (FLASH)
AMI® Hi-Flex BIOS with built-in advanced CMOS setup for system parameters, peripheral management for configuring on-board peripherals, PCI-to-PCI bridge support, and PCI interrupt steering. Supports flash devices for BIOS upgrading via floppy interface. Custom BIOSs available.
CACHE MEMORY (L2)
Intel® Pentium® III processor - A 256K integrated on-die Advanced Transfer Cache. The cache is 256-bit wide, 8-way set associative cache running at full processor core frequency.
Intel® Celeron® processor - A 128K integrated on-die 64-bit wide, non-blocking cache.
DRAM MEMORY
The SDRAM interface consists of two dual in-line memory module (DIMM) sockets and supports auto detection of memory up to 512MB of Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) memory. Minimum memory size is 8MB. The DIMM memory is PC-100 compliant for all speeds, which means that they comply with Intel's PC SDRAM specifications. Uses industry standard 64-bit (non-ECC) or 72-bit (ECC) wide gold finger DIMM DRAM in two 168-pin DIMM sockets.
MEMORY HOLE
Supports a 1MB memory hole option at 15-16MB.
ERROR CHECKING AND CORRECTION
The memory interface supports ECC modes via BIOS setting for multiple-bit error detection and single-bit error correction.
PCI LOCAL BUS INTERFACE
Fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus 2.1 Specification. This board has optimized the PCI interface to allow the processor to sustain the highest possible bandwidth (greater than 100MB/sec sustained) and supports PCI-to-PCI bridge technology.
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB)
Supports two USB 1.0 ports for serial transfers at 12 or 1.5Mbit/sec. The Universal Serial Bus is an interface allowing for connectivity to many standard PC peripherals via an external port.
SYSTEM HARDWARE MONITOR
Provides monitoring of system voltages, temperature and fan speed.
FLOPPY DRIVE INTERFACE
Supports up to two floppy disk drives in combinations of 360K to 2.88MB.
