The info and features section have  been solely sourced from the first
source.   The  second source  provides  far  more detail.   Additional
information in  the configurations section  has been sourced  from the
second.

This  chip was  used on  the Pentium  66MHz CPU  complexes of  Intel's
Xpress platform.   Specifically the  BXCPUPENT66 (Single  66MHz, eight
82491s) and BXCPU2XPENT (Dual 66 MHz,  eight 82491s). Also found on P5
60/66MHz CPU complexes of IBM 9595/PC Server 300/500 systems.

***Notes:...
***Info:
The 82498 Cache Controller and multiple 82493 Cache SRAMs combine with
the Pentium processor (735/90,  815/100) and future Pentium Processors
to form a CPU Cache chip set designed for high performance servers and
function-rich  desktops. The high-speed  interconnect between  the CPU
and  cache components has  been optimized  to provide  zero-wait state
operation. This CPU  Cache chip set is fully  compatible with existing
software,  and has new  data integrity  features for  mission critical
applications.

The 82498 Cache Controller implements the MESI write-back protocol for
full multiprocessing support.  Dual ported buffers and registers allow
the 82498  to concurrently  handle CPU bus,  memory bus,  and internal
cache operation for maximum performance.

The 82493 is a customized high-performance SRAM that supports 64-, and
128-bit  wide memory  bus widths,  32-,  and 64-byte  line sizes,  and
optional sectoring. The  data path between the CPU  bus and memory bus
is  separated  by  the  82493,  allowing  the  CPU  bus  to  handshake
synchronously,  asynchronously,  or   with  a  strobed  protocol,  and
allowing concurrent CPU bus and memory bus operations.
