The front side bus is currently 66 megahertz. The earliest Pentium IIs had a 66-megahertz front side bus. This should add a fair improvement in performance without a change in actual microprocessor frequency. Socket-370 versions have an E suffix. Those who are concerned about personal privacy should consider turning off this feature.
Sockets look like little platforms that are mounted flat on the motherboard s surface.
Row after concentric row of holes run around the top of the socket. The center of the socket is not needed, so it is usually removed, giving it the appearance of a rectangle with a rectangle removed from the middle. It is a ZIF-socket. It was created to extend the life of the Pentium and AMD K6-2 microprocessors. Motherboards for these microprocessors typically employ ALI Aladdin V and VIA Apollo MVP3 chipsets.
