Specifications and Features
The SUPER P6DBE, running at a bus speed of 100
MHz, supports dual Pentium III/II 233 ~ 700 MHz
processors. The P6DBE is based on Intel's 440BX
chipset, which enables AGP, 100 MHz SDRAM,
concurrent PCI, Ultra DMA with a 33 MB/s burst data
transfer rate and Wake-on-Lan.
The SUPER P6DBE (board rev 2.x, 3.x) comes with
5 PCI and 2 ISA slots and an AGP connector. AGP
reduces contention between the CPU and I/O
devices by broadening the bandwidth of graphics to
memory. It delivers a maximum 532 MB/s 2x transfer
mode, which is quadruple the PCI speed.
