(PGA370) A physical andelectrical specification for a motherboard processorsocket. Socket 370 uses a square SPGA ZIF socket with 370pins, arranged 37x37 (sometimes described as 19x19).Intel originally designed Socket 370 for PPGA Celeronprocessors. Newer Socket 370 motherboards additionallysupport FC-PGA Celeron and Pentium III processors.The difference between the two versions is electrical;some pins are used differently and voltage requirements havebeen changed from Intel's VRM 8.2 to VRM 8.4. Inaddition, Celeron processors require a 66 MHz front side bus(FSB), and Pentium III processors require a 100/133 MHz FSB.Some older Socket 370 motherboards support VRM 8.4 andvariable bus speeds, so adapters are available that convertthe socket pinout to allow FC-PGA processors to work.VIA's Cyrix III processor was designed to work withSocket 370 motherboards.Intel Celeron Processor in PPGA form factor - Integration(http://pentium.com/design/quality/celeron/ppga/integration.htm).Pentium III Processors - Design Guidelines(http://intel.com/design/PentiumIII/designgd/).
