A word on the Pentium II - We carry a complete line of Pentium III and Pentium II CPU's. The photo to the right shows the inside of a Pentium II cartridge. In the center you will see the actual CPU, to the right and left are the high speed cache memory. This internal cache gives the Pentium II a speed advantage over socket 7 CPU's. 

Why Use Celeron?

A word on the AMD K6-2 3D NOW - The 3DNOW! technology was released by AMD to compete directly with the Pentium II. The advantage of this technology is that it advances MMX math processing capabilities to include floating point calculations. This change adds a speed boost to math intensive applications, most noticable in 3D rendered games and simulations.

Support Note: With the AMD CPUs you need to be careful with your voltage settings, as these varry greatly between each one. When in doubt, voltages are written on the top of the CPU, as well as in the table at the bottom of this page.

Pentium (not MMX)

3.45 volts
(single voltage)

Pentium MMX

3.45 v. I/O

Voltage handled by BIOS

AMD
Please use this table only if voltage is not marked on the top of the CPU

AMD K-5 series 75-166mhz 2.9v core 3.45v I/O
AMD K-6 series 166-200 2.9v core 3.45v I/O
AMD K-6 series 233 3.2v core 3.45v I/O
AMD K6-2 (including 3D now!) series 266-400 2.2v core 3.45v I/O

Cyrix (and IBM)
Please use this table only if voltage is not marked on the top of the CPU.
Cyrix CPU's varied greatly in their voltage settings, therefore we will not attempt to list all the possible combinations for all the versions, speeds, and dates of manufacture of these CPU's.
Instead, we suggest that if the voltage setting is not written on the CPU, then set as follows:

2.9 volt core   3.45 volt I/O
