Microprocessor: The VMIVME-7751 brings the Intel Pentium III
processor to VME, offering processor speeds up to 1.26 GHz. The
Pentium III processor has 32-bit addressing and a 64-bit data bus. Its
superscalar architecture allows three instructions to be executed per
clock cycle. A dynamic branch prediction unit, separate instruction and
data caches, and MMX™ technology also increase the processor’s
performance. The Pentium III processor also provides 256 KB (1.26 GHz
has 512 KB) of advanced transfer cache (on-die, full speed level 2 cache)
using dual independent bus architecture for high bandwidth and
performance. This L2 cache operates at the same clock frequency as the
processor, thus improving performance.
DRAM Memory: The VMIVME-7751 accepts one 144-pin SDRAM
SODIMM for a maximum memory capacity of 512 MB. The DRAM is
dual ported to the VME.
Bios: System and video BIOS are provided in reprogrammable flash
memory.
Super VGA Controller: High-resolution graphics and multimediaquality
video are supported on the VMIVME-7751 by the built-in 815E
chipset AGP graphics adapter. The adapter is complemented by 4 MB
external synchronous DRAM cache with a high-bandwidth 64-bit data
interface. Screen resolutions up to 1,600 x 1,200 x 256 colors (single
view mode) are supported by the graphics adapter.
