Microprocessor features
The NetVista computer comes with an Intel Pentium III or Celeron microprocessor.
The microprocessor, which has an attached heat sink, plugs directly into a connector
on the system board.
Pentium III microprocessor with MMX technology
The features of the microprocessor are as follows:
• Optimization for 32-bit software
• 64-bit microprocessor data bus
• 100 MHz or 133 MHz front-side bus (FSB)
• 256 KB full-speed advanced transfer cache memory integrated into the
microprocessor
— 4-way set associative
— Nonblocking
• 36-bit microprocessor address bus
• Math coprocessor
• MMX technology, which boosts the processing of graphic, video, and audio data
Celeron microprocessor with MMX technology
