	Delivering the 100-MHz High-Performance Platform by Sunil Kumar The new 350- and 400-MHz Pentium II processors boost system bandwidth by 50% with a new 100-MHz system bus. Intel is enabling building blocks that balance platform performance around these new processors in the areas of new chip sets, SDRAM memory, and system design tools.
	100-MHz System Bus Interconnect Design by Howard Heck The new Pentium II processors raise the question for designers of how to achieve a 50% jump in bus frequency while simultaneously keeping costs down. The good news is that the new 100-MHz system bus can be implemented using familiar motherboard and interconnect designs.
