Chapter 1. Introduction of BM6 Features

1-1.Features of This Motherboard

This motherboard is designed for Intel’s new generation of Celeron™

processors. It supports

the Intel®

Celeron™

processor, with the PPGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array package) 370-pin

design. Up to 768MB of memory, super I/O, and Green PC functions. The BM6 has built-in

hardware monitoring functions (you can refer to Appendix C for detailed information), they

can monitor and protect your computer insuring a safe computing environment. It supports

both the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse wake up features (you can refer to page 3-33 Power

On Function for detailed information), letting you easily wake up your system by these

devices. The motherboard can provide high performance for workstations and meets the

requirements for desktop systems for multimedia in the future.

The PPGA processor is the next addition to the Intel®

Celeron™

processor product line, it

implements a Dynamic Execution micro-architecture and executes MMX™

media

technology instructions for enhanced media and communication performance. The PPGA

processor also uses the same multi-transaction system bus used in the Pentium®

II processor.

The processor also supports multiple low-power states such as AutoHALT, Stop-Grant, and

Deep Sleep to conserve power during idle times.

Celeron™PPGA package processor

The PPGA processor includes an integrated 128K second level cache with separated 16K

instruction and 16K data level one caches. The second level cache is capable of caching

4GB of system memory.

Sets You Free From the Y2K Threat

The potential threat of Year 2000 (Y2K) problems are making everyone very nervous. The

Y2K issue applies to almost any device, firmware, or software that operates on or with year

based dates. This problem is caused by a design flaw in the Real Time Clock (RTC) unit.

The RTC only changes the last two digits of the year code, but not the century information.

As a result, when it comes to 12:00 AM January 1, 2000 the RTC will switch from

December 31 11:59 PM 1999 to 12:00 AM January 1 1900.

Y2K compliance deals with the date change over from 31 December 1999 to 1 January 2000,

and with recording and reporting of all dates from the RTC including leap year dates. This

motherboard is free from the Y2K problem because its BIOS are Y2K compliant.

Please Note

If the operating system or application software cannot handle Year 2000 dates, you will

still be facing the Y2K threat because it is not a hardware problem that relates to the

motherboard itself. According to Award BIOS, it is BIOS source code released after 31

May 1995 complies with all known Y2K issues; however, it may still fail the 2000.exe

test. Award has modified its BIOS source code to accommodate the requirements of

2000.exe. Award BIOS source code issued later than 18 November 1996 passes the

NTSL 2000.exe test program.
