3.Chapter 3 PROCESSOR/MEMORY SUBSYSTEM

3.1INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the processor/memory subsystem of Compaq Deskpro Personal Computers featuring the Pentium 4 processor. These systems feature the Pentium 4 processor and the 845 chipset (Figure 3-1). The 82845 MCH component of the 845 chipset supports SDRAM memory of either the standard PC133 or the DDR type, depending on model.
