Pentium®II Processor-based ATX board supporting the
Accelerated Graphics Port
The Kootenay motherboard is an innovative, high performance ATX platform for the
Pentium®II processor - giving your customers the performance needed for today’s
Windows NT®, Windows®95 based business applications and providing performance
for tomorrow’s even more advanced software.
The Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) includes a new bus and port for the graphics
controller, freeing system resources to quickly move memory-intensive graphics data in
and out of system memory. This enables a new level of sophisticated lifelike 3-D
graphics with higher speeds and resolutions than previously possible. Off-loading
bandwidth-intensive graphics from the PCI bus also contributes to an increase in overall
system performance.
The Intel 440LX AGPset - which makes AGP support possible - also provides additional
advanced capabilities including SDRAM support, Ultra DMA/33, and Dynamic Power
Management Architecture. Memory support to 384 MBytes, along with enhanced
manageability, and it’s clear why the Kootenay motherboard is the ideal choice for
Pentium®II processor-based systems.
Features of the Kootenay Motherboard
•Support for one 233, 266, or 300 MHz Intel Pentium II processor with a 512 KB
second-level cache integrated in the Single Edge Contact (S.E.C.) cartridge.
