    摘要: The present invention provides a computer motherboard having an Intel P54C compatible processor socket and a control chip having specifically arranged data pins and address pins which allows a short signal path arrangement from the processor socket to a cache tap RAM and a cache data RAM. The computer motherboard comprises a four-layer printed circuit board, a processor socket, a cache data RAM, a cache tag RAM, and a control chip. All these components are connected by using a high-order-bit data bus, a low-order-bit data bus, and an address bus through the top and bottom layers of the circuit board. The cache data RAM is positioned on the right side of the processor socket. The control chip is positioned on the top side of the cache data RAM and on the top-right side of the processor socket. It comprises an address section positioned at a bottom-middle portion of the control chip, a high-order-bit data section positioned at a bottom-right corner of the control chip, and a low-order-bit data section positioned at a bottom-left corner of the control chip. The cache tag RAM is positioned between the processor socket and the cache data RAM.

    摘要: A chipset to support multiple CPU's and a layout method thereof. Those independent signal lines for delivering high frequency clock signals of the chipset are isolated from using by other signals without being multiplexed. Trace length of the independent signal line is shorter than that of the others. The spaces between the independent signal line and others are also larger than that between other signal lines. Signal transmission quality is significantly upgraded because the high frequency clock signal is not multiplexed and isolated from others.

    摘要: A memory control system for controlling write-enable signals. The memory control system has a first memory slot having a write-enable pin thereon, a second memory slot having a first write-enable pin and a second write-enable pin thereon and a control chipset having a write-enable pin and a dual-purpose write-enable/memory-parity-data pin thereon. The write-enable pin of the control chipset is connected to the write-enable pin of the first memory slot and the first write-enable pin of the second memory slot. The write-enable/memory-parity-data pin of the control chipset is connected to the second write-enable pin of the second memory slot. In this invention, since the design of the write-enable system is more flexible, length of trace line on a computer board can be greatly reduced. In addition, the system permits the incorporation of one cycle (1T) timing into design of memory access commands.
