VII. APPENDIX The ASUS S370 CPU Card The optional ASUS S370 CPU card allows Slot 1 motherboards to accept socket 370 processors. The ASUS S370 CPU card gives Slot 1 motherboard owners an inexpensive way to upgrade their Pentium II computers using lower costing 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 picture shows the ASUS S370 CPU card with a plastic retainer attached to the edge. The retainer is used to hold the ASUS S370 CPU card in place using the motherboard's Slot 1 retention mechanism. ASUS S370 CPU Card Retainer VII.
