Central Processing Unit (Cpu); System Memory; Cache Memory - NEC POWERMATE PRO150 Manual

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The system is designed to operate with a 150 MHz Intel Pentium Pro
microprocessor. The Pentium Pro microprocessor, in addition to its
expanded data and addressing capabilities, includes the following features:
Next generation Pentium Pro OverDrive® processor ready, including a
zero insertion force Socket 8
Backward compatibility with Intel microprocessor architecture
Onchip numeric coprocessor (compatible with the Pentium® processor
and compliant with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985)
Onchip 16 KB cache (8 KB for data, 8 KB for code)
Burst-mode bus cycles
Chapter 5 tells how to upgrade the CPU.

System Memory

The system supports base (conventional) and extended memory. Operating
systems such as MS-DOS®, Windows® 95, Windows NT, and all
application programs use base memory. For better performance many
applications use extended memory. For the system memory map, see
Chapter 7.
The system supports up to 128 MB of DRAM. DRAM is implemented
through 72-pin single in-line memory modules (SIMMs). The system board
contains four SIMM sockets. Chapter 5 describes how much memory and
which type of SIMM you can install to get the total amount of DRAM you
want.

Cache Memory

The Pentium Pro microprocessor includes 16 KB of cache on the chip. A
256 KB secondary (L2) cache device is contained in the same package as the
Pentium Pro microprocessor.
