Public museums that host exhibitions and interactive demonstrations are often tourist attractions, and many draw large numbers of visitors from outside of their host country, with the most visited museums in the world attracting millions of visitors annually. Since the establishment of the earliest known museum in ancient times, museums have been associated with academia and the preservation of rare items. Museums originated as private collections of interesting items, and not until much later did the emphasis on educating the public take root. Etymology The ...

Pentium Microprocessor
The Pentium III from Intel is a sixth-generation CPU targeted at the consumer market. Desktop processors "Katmai" (250 nm) * 9.5 million transistors * All models support: MMX, SSE * The 'B' suffix denotes a 133 MHz FSB * The '80525PYxxx512' number denotes an OEM CPU while the 'BX80525xxxx512' or 'BX80525xxxx512E' number denotes a boxed CPU * The L2 cache is off-die and runs at 50% CPU speed. "Coppermine" (180 nm) * 28 million transistors * All models support: MMX, SSE * The 'B' suffix denotes a 133 MHz FSB when the same speed was also available with a 100 MHz FSB. * The 'E' suffix denotes a processor with support for Intel's Advanced Transfer Cache in Intel documentation; in reality it indicates a Coppermine core when the same speed was available as either Katmai or Coppermine. The 'E' suffix was not used on speeds faster than Katmai was available on, unless the 'B' suffix was also present; but all Coppermine CPUs have the Advanced Transfer Ca ...
