Introduction
This manual describes the Viglen SX220 system and the SCB 2 motherboard. The
motherboard is the most important part of your computer. It co ntains all of the CPU,
memory and graphics circuitry that makes the computer work.
The motherboard contains the very latest in CPU design, the Intel Pentium III
processors, which include MMX, Internet Streaming SIMD Exte nsions and Tualatin
technology. MMX technology adds a total of 57 i nstructions t o the CPU, all of which
are designed to vastly improve both multimedia and communications on your PC.
SIMD Extensions add 70 new instructions enabling advanced imaging, 3D,
streaming audio and video, and speech recognition for an enh anced Internet
experience. Tualatin technology includes a smaller die size of 0.13 micron, resulting
in lower power consumption and lower heat output. The Level2 cache on die has
increased to 512K in size. The combination of the Intel Pentiu m III processors,
MMX, SIMD, Tualatin technology and Viglen expertise make this a formidable
computer.
