Slot 1 - Pentium III B and EB Models

Pentium III B and EB Models

A special series of Pentium III for Slot 1 had an addition to its name (Pentium III EB). The "E" indicates a Coppermine core, and the "B" a 133 MHz FSB. Ironically, no consumer-oriented Intel chipset (except select few i820-based motherboards) officially supports a FSB of 133 MHz. To use this CPU, one must either use the VIA Apollo Pro 133A chipset, an Intel 800-series chipset (which was relatively expensive and often required RDRAM, limiting it to high-end workstations or servers), or the Intel 440BX outside of its specifications (which, on some motherboards, is indeed possibly stable).

Famous quotes containing the words iii and/or models:

    The Empress is Legitimist, my cousin is Republican, Morny is Orleanist, I am a socialist; the only Bonapartist is Persigny, and he is mad.
    —Napoleon Bonaparte III (1808–1873)

    Friends broaden our horizons. They serve as new models with whom we can identify. They allow us to be ourselves—and accept us that way. They enhance our self-esteem because they think we’re okay, because we matter to them. And because they matter to us—for various reasons, at various levels of intensity—they enrich the quality of our emotional life.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)
