Overview
Intel Celeron processors, the plastic pin grid array
(P.P.G.A.) 370
The Intel Celeron processors provide power to handle the internet, educational
programs, interactive 3D games, and productivity applications. The Intel Celeron
processors at 466, 433, 400, 366, 333 and 300A MHz include integrated L2 cache
128Kbyte. The core for the 466, 433, 400, 366, 333 and 300A MHz processors
have 19M transistors due to the addition of the integrated L2 cache 128Kbyte. All
the Intel Celeron processors are available in the plastic pin grid array (P.P.G.A.)
form factor. The P.P.G.A. form factor is compatible with the 370 pin socket. All
the Intel Celeron processors are available in the plastic pin grid array (PPGA)
package. The PPGA package is compatible with the 370 pin socket and provides
more flexibility to design low cost systems by enabling lower profile and smaller
systems and providing the potential for reducing costs of processor retention and
cooling solutions. Like the Intel Celeron processors that utilize S.E.P.P., the Intel
Celeron processors that use P.P.G.A., feature a P6-microarchitecture-based core
processor on a single-sided substrate without BSRAM componentry.
The Intel Celeron processor at 466, 433, 400, 366, 333, and 300A MHz. Includes
Intel MMX[tm] media enhancement technology. Offers Dynamic Execution
technology.
Includes a 32Kbyte (16Kbyte/16Kbyte) non-blocking, level-one cache that provides
fast access to heavily used data. Intel Celeron processors at 466, 433, 400, 366,
333 and 300A MHz include integrated L2 cache 128Kbyte. All the Intel Celeron
processor utilize the Intel P6 microarchitecture’s multi-transaction system bus at
66MHz. The 466, 433, 400, 366, 333 and 300A MHz processors utilize the Intel
P6 microarchitecture’s multi-transaction system bus with the addition of the L2
cache interface. The combination of the L2 cache bus and the processor-to-main-
memory system bus increases bandwidth and performance over single-bus
processors.
Intel MMX technology includes new instructions and data types that allow

IntroductionEP-3WXA/4/4Y

applications to achieve a new level of performance. Intel’s MMX technology is
designed as a set of basic, general-purpose integer instructions that are easily
applied to the needs of a wide diversity of multimedia and communications
applications. The highlights of the technology are:
* Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) technique
* 57 new instructions
* Eight 64-bit wide MMX technology registers
* Four new data types

Installation and Removal
Installation:
Install the processor and the fan heatsink using the Installation Notes provided
with the boxed processor. First, raise the handle of the 370-pin socket. Carefully
install the processor into the 370-pin socket making sure that none of the pins are
bent. Then close the handle of the socket. Next install the fan heatsink. Make sure
to install the heatsink onto the processor after the processor has been inserted
into the 370-pin socket. Place the fan heatsink onto the processor such that the
integrated clip lines up with the socket’s attach tabs. This will align the fan cable
with the PGA370 mark on the 370-pin
socket. Remember not to damage the
thermal interface pad. Attach the clip onto
the socket’s attach tabs. (A small tool, such
as a pen, may make this process easier.) Take
care to consider potential scraping of the
motherboard underneath the 370-pin socket
attach tabs. Connect the attached fan power
cable to the motherboard connector and
quickly power on the system to verify that
the processor fan is running.

Removal:
To simplify the following process, consider removing the motherboard from the
chassis before removing the processor. First, unplug the fan power cable from the
motherboard’s connector. Then pull the integrated clip away from the socket’s tab
nearest the fan cable. (A small tool, such as a pen or screwdriver, may make this
process easier.) Once the clip is free, slowly lift the fan heatsink straight up away
from the socket and the processor. (If the processor has been in operation for a
long period of time, then this step may require some extra force; this is because the
heat dissipated from the processor will have affected the thermal interface pad)
Next, lift up the handle of the 370-pin socket. Finally, carefully remove the proces-
sor from the socket making sure not to bend any of the processor pins.
Intel(R) 810 chipset features
The Intel(R) 810 chipset that Built on the strong foundation of Intel(R) 440BX
AGPset technology, the Intel(R) 810 chipset has re-engineered the Value PC,
providing next generation features and great graphics performance.
The 82810 Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) features : Intel(R)
graphics technology and software drivers, using Direct AGP (integrated AGP) to
create vivid 2D and 3D effects and images. The 82810 chip feature integrated
Hardware Motion Compensation to improve soft DVD video quality.
The Inte(R) 82810 chipset use Intel(R) Dynamic Video Memory Technology (D.
V.M.T.) is an architecture that offers breakthrough performance for the
(motherboard) PC through efficient memory utilization and Direct AGP. The
system OS uses the Intel software drivers and intelligent memory arbiter to
support richer graphics applications.
The 82801 I/O Controller Hub (ICH) employs the Intel(R) Accelerated Hub
Architecture to make a direct connection from the graphics and memory to the
integrated AC97 controller, the IDE controllers (ATA/66 or ATA/33), dual USB
ports, and PCI add-in cards.
