Celeron™ 100/66MHz FSB FC-PGA
• North Bridge System Chipset: The Intel
®
815E B Stepping chipset supports
the latest Intel
®
Tualatin™processor and offers full backward compatibility
to PIII
®
Coppermine™ and Celeron™ CPUs. The chipset supports industry
standard 66/100/133 Front Side Busses (FSBs), and up to 512MB of PC100/
PC133 SDRAM, and AGP Pro/4X mode, which can transport twice the amount
of data compared to the current AGP standard.
• South Bridge System Chipset: The Intel I/O Controller Hub 2 (ICH2) features
support for UltraDMA/100, which allows burst mode data transfer rates of up to
100MB/sec; two USB controllers for a total of 4 USB ports.
• Intel
®
Accelerated Hub Architecture: Features a dedicated high speed hub
link between the ICH2 and GMCH with a bandwidth of 266MB/sec – twice the
maximum bandwidth of the PCI bus.
• PC100/PC133 Memory Support: Equipped with three Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) sockets to support PC100/PC133-compliant non-ECC SDRAMs
(available in 64, 128, 256, 512Mb densities) up to 512MB.
• Integrated Graphics! The 24-bit 230MHz RAMDAC graphics controller sup-
ports 3D hyper pipelined architecture, parallel data processing and compres-
sion, precise pixel interpolation, full 2D hardware acceleration, and motion video
acceleration. This integrated graphics controller can be disabled to support an
external AGP or PCI graphics card.
• AGP Pro Slot: Comes with an Accelerated Graphics Port Pro slot that supports
AGP cards for high performance, component level interconnect targeted at 3D
graphical applications using a 1X, 2X, or 4X mode bus. Backward compatible
to support AGP 4X and AGP 2X. This slot supports an AGP Inline Memory
Module (AIMM) for up to 4MB of 133MHz SDRAM display cache.
