With this board, system engineers will now be able to upgrade their 486-based systems to 586-level without as many addi-tional worries, partially because a 586-level NS GX1-300 pro-cessor is mounted directly on board. Mounting CPUs directly on board eases the configuration and installation process because there is no need to set any jumpers for speed or volt-age differences between various CPUs. In addition to this ease of configuration, this CPU has been specially designed to work well in environments with temperatures of up to 60°C (140°F) without need of a fan.
