7. APPENDIX

7.2 S370 Series CPU Cards

The optional ASUS S370 Series CPU Cards allow Slot 1 motherboards to accept
socket 370 processors. The ASUS S370 Series CPU Cards give Slot 1 motherboard
owners an inexpensive way to upgrade their Pentium II computers using lower cost-
ing socket 370 processors. Since socket 370 processors are based on the Pentium II
design, the only difference is the connector and the amount of internal cache within
the processor.

The following are pictures of the ASUS S370 Series CPU Cards with black plastic
retainers attached to the edge. The retainer fins are used to hold the ASUS S370
Series CPU Cards in place using the motherboard’s Slot 1 retention mechanisms.
