In this document when a reference is made to “the processor” it is intended that this

includes all the processors supported by this document. If needed for clarity, the

specific processor will be listed.

In this document, when a reference is made to the “the reference design” it is

intended that this means ATX reference designs (E18764-001) supported by this

document. If needed for clarify, the specific reference design will be listed.

In this document, when a reference is made to “the datasheet”, the reader should

refer to the Intel

Core™2 Duo Processor E8000 and E7000 Series Datasheet, Intel

Pentium

Dual-Core Processor E6000 and E5000 Series Datasheet, and Intel

Celeron

Processor E3x00 Series Datasheet. If needed for clarity the specific

processor datasheet will be referenced.
