Hardware Module Descriptions
Processor Board
Processor/Chip Set
The terminal uses an Intel architecture processor, which permits it to leverage existing software drivers and applications, as well as provide the greatest flexibility in choosing an operating system. This provides several other advantages:
•Capable of SW
•Sound
•Java Benchmark performance > 1000 Caffeinemarks, JIT compiled
•OS support to run Java
•Expansion capabilities for optional features and future requirements (ISA/PCI bus and USB)
The following sections identify processors, system bus speed, and on- board memory available on 7454 Release 2.x processor boards:
Release 2.0/2.1
•Intel 600 MHz ∝PGA2 Celeron Processor and 440BX chipset consisting of the 82443BX (North Bridge) System Controller, also called the MTXC, and the 82371EB (South Bridge) PCI ISA accelerator, also called the PIIX4E.
•100MHz system bus
•32 MB memory with ability to add SODIMMS to increase the memory capacity of the terminal
Release 2.2
•Intel 700 MHz Celeron Processor (BGA) on board, removing the
∝PGA2 processor socket. Intel 440BX PC chipset same as in Release 2.0/2.1
