PentiumŪ III and
PentiumŪ II processor-based ATX motherboard supporting 66-MHz
and 100-MHz System Buses
The Intel SE440BX-2 motherboard delivers 100-MHz system level bandwidth to optimize the performance of IntelŪ PentiumŪ III processors 500 MHz or 450 MHz and PentiumŪ II processors 450 MHz, 400 MHz, or 350 MHz. With support for the Accelerated Graphics Port and the increased throughput of the 100-MHz system bus, the SE440BX-2 motherboard delivers enhanced system performance for the demanding system applications of today and tomorrow.
Increased system performance with the 100-MHz system bus
The SE440BX-2 motherboard features the Intel 440BX AGPset which supports a 100-MHz system bus, improving the bandwidth between the PentiumŪ III and Pentium II processor, Accelerated Graphics Port, 100-MHz SDRAM, and PCI bus. The result is significantly enhanced media and graphics performance. Home PC users will enjoy improved texture rendering in 3D software, including games, entertainment, educational and digital-imaging applications. Business PC users will appreciate smooth performance in such 3D applications as CAD programs, as well as in sophisticated data visualization and web-authoring tools.
Ultimate Design Flexibility
The SE440BX-2 motherboard also provides OEMs and system integrators with maximum design flexibility by supporting both 66-MHz and 100-MHz system designs. This flexible platform accomodates different memory and processor combinations, allowing 100-MHz components to be added as needed -- even at a later date. Moreover, the SE440BX-2 motherboard is designed to meet the demanding needs of multiple end-users. The board features an on-board hardware management ASIC, Wake on LAN* header, and Intel's LANDeskŪ Virus Protect software to lower the total cost of ownership. The SE440BX-2 motherboard also offers optional integrated Yamaha* PCI audio for an exceptional AC'97 audio subsystem.
