Introduction
1-1 Overview
The SUPER P6DBS/P6DBE/P6DBU/P6SBU/P6SBS/P6SBA/P6SBM supports
Pentium II 233-333 MHz and Celeron 266-433 MHz processors at a 66 MHz
bus speed, Pentium II 350-450 MHz and Pentium III processors at a 100 MHz
FSB speed. The SUPER P6DBU/P6DBS/P6DBE supports dual Pentium II and
III processors, while the SUPER P6SBU/P6SBS/P6SBA/P6SBM supports a
single Pentium II or III processor*. All seven motherboards are based on
Intel’s 440BX chipset, which supports a 66/100 MHz front side bus speed,
an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP), Wake-on-LANÔ , SDRAM, concurrent
PCI and a 33 MB/s Ultra DMA burst data transfer rate. (See notes below.)
While all of the motherboards are the ATX form factor, the P6DBU and
P6DBE have 5 PCI and 2 ISA slots with one shared. The SUPER P6DBS,
P6SBU, P6SBS and P6SBA have 4 PCI and 3 ISA slots with one shared, and
the SUPER P6SBM has 3 PCI and 1 ISA slots with one shared. All seven
motherboards have the AGP port and all but the P6SBM can support up to 1
GB EDO at 66 MHz or 512 MB unbuffered SDRAM or maximum of 1 GB
registered SDRAM memory in 4 168-pin DIMM sockets. The SUPER P6SBM
can accommodate 768 MB registered or 384 MB unbuffered SDRAM. All
these motherboards support both ECC and non-ECC type memory.
AGP reduces contention between the CPU and I/O devices by broadening
the graphics bandwidth to memory. It delivers a maximum of 532 MB/s in
the 2xAGP transfer mode, which is quadruple the PCI speed!
Wake-On-LAN allows for remote network management and configuration of
the PC, even in off-hours when the PC is turned off. This reduces the
complexity of managing the network.
Another feature that maximizes customer satisfaction and simplicity in man-
aging the computer is support for the PC 98 and the Advanced Configura-
tion and Power Interface (ACPI) standards. With PC Health Monitoring, you
can protect your system from problems before they even occur.
*Notes: 1. Celeron is single processor only.
2. Currently, the P6DBE/P6DBU/P6SBU/P6SBA motherboard
supports CPU speeds up to 1GHz with 100 MHz FSB.
