CP U S pec if icatio ns
This section is made up of tables and diagrams designed
to help you identify the CPU you want to install. You
need to identify your CPU in order to determine the cor-
rect configuration settings.
CPU' s from Intel, AMD, and Cyrix are covered here. CPUs
vary within a specific type; a 120MHz Pentium for ex-
ample, can have different power and timing specifica-
tions depending on which type and " Step" (version) it is.
To identify a CPU you' ll need to examine the chip to
obtain specification information that is printed on the
chip. The diagrams for AMD and Cyrix CPUs explain
how to interpret the information on the chip.
