What is the Socket 370 motherboard?

The

Socket 370 motherboard concerns any motherboard, which is equipped with a 370 socket connector. As a standard, most units of the 370 base plate are very similar, with a small variation between maximum memory, connectors and other specifications. The Socket 370 motherboards were first introduced in 1999 by Intel® and several revisions of the socket were revised to increase the energy transmission speed (FSB). One unofficial and five official central processing units (CPUs) were released for a socket of 370. Looking at a similar Socket 7 motherboard, which has 321 pins, it can be difficult to automatically determine the difference. While the number of pins differs between the two drawers, the arrangement of the pins looks almost identical. In addition to counting the number of pins, which is difficult to do manually, the best way to look at the corners. The Socket 370 motherboard will have two corners without any pins, while the socket 7 has only one corner without a pin.

Most units of the 370 base plate have similar specifications with a very small variation. They tend to have 1 gigabyte (GB) maximum memory with random access (RAM), one or two ports of Universal Serial Bus (USB), keyboard and mouse ports, and either slot for floppy disks, slot CDs or both. The variations that exist usually affect how computer process data and can improve your computer for playing, home use or business.

Over the 370 years socket, there were several outlet revisions to make it work better with the new generation processors. This progress caused the FSB faster and pushing the speed of processing and supplying it up. While each progress has allowed a 370 outlet to work with newer processors, revisions are uncompleabile with older processors that supported older versions, so it is not compatible. Technically, the motherboard does not have to be replaced to fit into the revision of the socket 370 on the desKU, but ordinary users usually do not have the technical knowledge needed to solder a new outlet, so a new motherboard with a new socket would have to be purchased.

Five official CPUs are released under the Intel® brand for The Socket 370. The two versions of the Pentium III® released for the 370 socket include CPU Coppermine® and Tualatin® Generation CPU. Unofficial CPU issued in 2000 is Cyrix III® from VIA®; It is a processor compatible with x86.
