HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

The Pentium® motherboard is based on the VT82C580VP Chipset. The chipset is a highly
integrated solution for a cost-effective and compact motherboard. Features on-board
include super-I/O, PCI bus master IDE, PCI Ver 2.1 compliance, and support of Pentium
CPUs running at 75, 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 166, 180, 200 and 233MHz, Cyrix 6x86 CPUs,
AMD K5 and AMD K6 processors. DIMM and SIMM sockets are provided onboard,
allowing flexible installation of main memory. The onboard pipelined burst cache further
boosts the system performance.
