Hey

Im reading through the MM A+ Certification Passport 2nd Edition book and it mentions old style Cleleron's using a 'SEP CPU Package' . Am i right in thinking this is an error and actually means 'SEC CPU Package' ?

It's on page 104 for those that have the book

Cheers
James

No - SEP is right.

See this page on Intel's site where it states

Only some versions of Celeron were of that type.

Hi mate

So far as I know that is correct. SEP stands for Single Edge Processor which I believe they had. I went through that bit of the book not too long ago and thought the same.

SEPs are similar to SECs but they have no covering

Unless anyone can tell me otherwise?

 

Hah, that's exactly where I looked. Praise be to Google yet again

 

Ah i see, cheers you two.
The book dosn't seem to describe this bit very well, it kinda springs it on you without any mention of it before.

Cheers

I must admit, I am working through that book and learnt a lot from it, but it does have a tendency to do that, it just springs a phrase or a term on you that you have never seen before which is described about 400 pages later, but at the time you panic a bit as you feel like you're expected to know what it is. One thing that book is severely lacking in is a glossary. I've had to create my own one whilst I have been making notes.
