1-7 MICROPROCESSOR
The motherboard supports a single Socket 370 processor. The processor’s
VID pins automatically program the voltage regulator on the motherboard
to the required processor voltage. In addition, the front side bus speed
(66/100 MHz and 133 MHz) is automatically selected. The motherboard
supports all current Socket 370 processor speeds, voltages, and bus
frequencies.
1-7.1 Microprocessor Packaging
The CPU is packaged in a 370 pin FC-PGA and FC-PGA2 package. A fan
must be used to ensure adequate cooling.
1-7.2 Second Level Cache
The second-level cache is located on the substrate of the CPU package.
The cache includes 0KB/128KB or 256 KB of synchronous pipelined
burst static RAM. All supported onboard memory can be cached.
1-7.3 Microprocessor Upgrades
The motherboard can be upgraded with Socket 370 processors that run at
higher speeds. When upgrading the processor, use the BIOS configuration
mode to change the processor speed.
