(L1) instruction cache and 16K L1 data cache. These cache arrays run at the full speed of the processor core.

For Celeron processors, a 128K unified, non-blocking second level (L2) cache improves performance by reducing the average memory access time and providing fast access to recently used instructions and data.

DRAM MEMORY The DRAM interface consists of two dual in-line memory module (DIMM) sockets and supports auto detection of memory up to 512MB of Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) for the 440BX or up to 1GB of SDRAM for the 440GX. Minimum memory size is 8MB.

The System BIOS automatically detects memory type, size and speed.

The SBC uses industry standard 64-bit or 72-bit wide gold finger DIMM SDRAM modules in two 168-pin DIMM sockets.

______________________________________________________________________

NOTE: Memory can be installed in one or both DIMM sockets. If only one DIMM module is used, it must be populated in the top DIMM socket (Bank 1 - BK1). If two modules are used, they must be the same DIMM type, but may be different sizes (see table below). EDO DIMMs are not supported. All DIMMs must have gold contacts.

______________________________________________________________________

The SBC supports DIMM memory modules which are PC-100 compliant and have the following features:

168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts

100MHz SDRAM

Non-ECC (64-bit) or ECC (72-bit) memory

3.3 volt

Single or double-sided DIMMs in the sizes listed below
