Standard, proceSSor> (PGA370) A phySical and electrical Specification for a motherboardproceSSorSocket. Socket 370 uSeS a Square SPGAZIFSocket with 370 pinS, arranged 37x37 (SometimeS deScribed aS 19x19). Intel originally deSigned Socket 370 for PPGA Celeron proceSSorS. Newer Socket 370 motherboardS additionally Support FC-PGA Celeron and Pentium III proceSSorS. The difference between the two verSionS iS electrical Some pinS are uSed differently and voltage requirementS have been changed from Intel' SVRM 8.2 to VRM 8.4. In addition, Celeron proceSSorS require a 66 MHz front Side buS (FSB), and Pentium III proceSSorS require a 100/133 MHz FSB. Some older Socket 370 motherboardSSupport VRM 8.4 and variable buSSpeedS, So adapterS are available that convert the Socket pinout to allow FC-PGA proceSSorS to work. VIA' SCyrix III proceSSor waS deSigned to work with Socket 370 motherboardS. {Intel Celeron ProceSSor in PPGA form factor - Integration (http://www.pentium.com/deSign/quality/celeron/ppga/integration.htm)}. {Pentium III ProceSSorS - DeSign GuidelineS (http://www.intel.com/deSign/PentiumIII/deSigngd/)}.
