Goeiedag allemaal,
Ik heb hier een pentium 200 staan met onderstaant moederboard... Nou vroeg ik me af of hier nog een upgrade mogelijk is? Kan ik er een proc met MMX inzetten? En wat is dat 6x86-200 Classic waar ze het over hebben? Is dat soms de 200 die ik er nu in heb zitten? Graag advies!
Alvast bedankt
FIC PA2005
One of the really great motherboards.
A long-term favourite of ours, built around the excellent VIA Apollo 585 chipset. It was already quite old by the time things like the PA-2007 came out, but it remained one of our best-sellers right up until they ceased production in the following year.
The Apollo 585 chipset was manufacturer-certified at 75MHz (almost unique in those days) and the PA-2005 was rock-solid at any speed. They went particularly well with Cyrix and IBM CPUs, especially the often difficult 6x86-200 Classic (which at the time, was the fastest thing money could buy). Like so many FIC products, the PA-2005 was beautifully built; quality you can see just by looking at the board. (There was an earlier version too, which didn't have 75MHz support.)
CPU support: 6x86, 6x86MX, K5, K6, P54C, P55C.
Speed: 50, 55, 60, 66 and 75MHz.
Slots: 4 PCI, 3 ISA
RAM: 4 72-pin FPM, EDO or BEDO, up to 256Mb. Like the PA-2002, it can operate with just a single 72-pin SIMM if required.
Cache: Surface mount, 512k pipeline burst standard, up to 1Mb optional.
Chipset: VIA Apollo 585VP, Award BIOS.
Best With: Any IBM/Cyrix CPU, especially 686-200 Classic.
Status: Legacy.
