**82C496/7       DXBB PC/AT Chipset (Cached)                 <01/16/92
***Info:
The OPTi  82C497 is a Direct  Mapped Write Back  cache controller with
one level write buffer that is  an optional part of the DXBB (Building
Block) Chip  set.  The DXBB also  contains the 82C496  and the 82C206,
which form the  heart of the system.  The 82C497 is  added to the DXBB
chip set for cache based systems.

The OPTi  82C496 offers an  upgradable CPU module  base-board solution
for the 80386  or the 80486 PC/AT system. By  swapping the CPU module,
the  vendor can configure  the 82C496  driven base-board  into various
32-bit AT  systems - 386 or 486  CPU, with cache or  without cache and
rated at 16MHz- 50MHz.

For the Non-Cache systems, the CPU interfaces directly with the 82C496
and the local devices, like the local VGA controller or the local hard
disk adaptor.

For cache based systems the 82C497 (the cache controller) sits between
the CPU and  the 82C496 and the local devices.  All the high frequency
signals are isolated by the  82C497. This allows the base-board to run
at a fixed speed  (25 or 33MHz) - while the CPU  and the Cache can run
synchronously at any determined  rated speed. This provides a reliable
upgrade method for the CPU modules.
