Pentium
processor with MMX
processor, and AMD
32-bit PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) Local Bus standard slots.
A cache subsystem is configured for 512K cache memory to improve overall
throughput.
The mainboard uses the highly integrated Intel
the PCI/ISA and Green standards, and to provide the Host/PCI bridge. The
