Conventions Used

  • Pentium system platforms and motherboards listed in this document show the CPU type and speed in parentheses after the model name.

    • The term (P-xxx) indicates a Pentium processor. The xxx is replaced by the speed of the system in megahertz. For example, P-100 indicates a 100-MHz Pentium processor.

    • The term (PP-xxx) indicates a Pentium Pro processor. The xxx is replaced by the speed of the system in megahertz. For example, PP-150 indicates a 150-MHz Pentium Pro processor.

    • The term (PII-xxx) indicates a Pentium II processor. The xxx is replaced by the speed of the system in megahertz. For example, PII-233 indicates a 233-MHz Pentium II processor.

    • The term (PIII-xxx) indicates a Pentium III processor. The xxx is replaced by the speed of the system in megahertz. For example, PIII-450 indicates a 450-MHz Pentium III processor.

    • The term (P4-xxx) indicates a Pentium 4 processor. The xxx is replaced by the speed of the system in megahertz. For example, P4-933 indicates a 933-MHz Pentium 4 processor.

  • In Chapter 3, Supported Devices, peripherals that require additional configuration and that have a Device Reference Page in the Solaris 8 (x86 Platform Edition) Device Configuration Guide are marked with a # symbol.
