AMD's 3DNow!™ technology is an innovative group of 21 new instructions for the x86 architecture that brings powerful performance enhancements for multimedia and floating-point-intensive applications. With 3DNow! technology, applications can achieve more detailed 3D imaging faster frame rates for video playback, and dramatic improvements in audio. 3DNow!™ technology appears in the AMD K6-III, K6-2, and Athlon™ processors and works with all existing operating systems and x86 applications.
 

MMX Technology

Intel's MMX™ technology extends the performance of Pentium processors with 57 new instructions, a 32K L1 cache, four new 64-bit data types, and more. For multimedia and communications applications, MMX can significantly enhance audio/video playback and image processing. MMX™ technology is compatible with a wide range of existing operating systems (including MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2, and UNIX) and 16/32-bit applications.

The PowerLeap PL-ProMMX™ CPU upgrade adapter allows Pentium™ socket 5 and socket 7 systems to upgrade to a faster and more powerful processor that otherwise possible. Choose either the PL-ProMMX-400™ or PL-ProMMX-233™ for a complete upgrade solution including CPU.  The PL-ProMMX is also available in adapter-only form, without CPU.

Special Features

PowerLeap PL-ProMMX™ offers the following advanced features:

  • Upgrade solution for both Socket 5 & Socket 7 systems.
  • Integrated switching VRM (Voltage Regulating Module).
  • Supports AMD K-2 and Intel Pentium processors.
  • Patented IPS™ (Independent Power Source) technology--providing pure, abundant, and reliable power to the CPU. IPS technology isolates the CPU from the power plane of the motherboard, allowing precise control over CPU core voltage.
  • Chip-for-chip replacement.
  • Delivers the most cost-effective MMX™ CPU upgrade solution.

Fastest Option:

PL-ProMMX-400Order the PL-ProMMX-400

The AMD K6-2 CPU processor, at 400 MHz, delivers a substantial performance increase over the Intel Pentium processor.  Our onboard switching voltage regulator supplies the required 2.0-2.4 volts core power supply that most existing motherboards lack, as well as the higher clock multipliers that are needed to reach such high core speeds on a 66MHz bus system.  Check compatibility here.  

Your System: Your System Bus Speed: Your System After Upgrading
(Clock multiplier 6.0x):
Pentium 75 50MHz*
(see Note)
300MHz
Pentium 90, 120, 150, 180 60MHz**
(see Note)
360MHz
Pentium 100, 133, 166, 200 66MHz 400MHz

* Note: Pentium 75MHz systems have a 50MHz system bus speed, which limits the final speed of the CPU upgrade. Many systems (for example, Gateway P-75, Dell Dimension P75) have a jumper to change system bus speed to 60 or 66MHz for optimal performance (see your system documentation or contact the manufacturer's technical support dept.). If you can change your system bus to 60MHz, then your upgrade speeds would be the same as for a Pentium 90 (see chart). If you can change your system bus to 66MHz, then your upgrade speeds would be the same as for a Pentium 100 (see chart).

** Note: A 60MHz system bus speed may limit final upgrade speed. Many systems have a jumper to change system bus speed to 66MHz for optimal performance (see your system documentation or contact the manufacturer's technical support dept.). If you can change your system bus to 66MHz, then your upgrade speeds would be the same as for a Pentium 100 (see chart).

Broadest Compatibility:

PL-ProMMX-233   Buy the PL-ProMMX-233

Choose the Intel 233MHz Pentium w/MMX version for the widest compatibility with existing socket 5/7 systems.

Faster than the Intel Overdrive™, and safe for use in any Socket 7 or Socket 5 motherboard, including Pentium systems from Gateway, Dell, Packard Bell, IBM, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, AST, NEC, Micron, and many other brands.  Check compatibility here.
