What is Triton?
Triton is the largest moon of the planet Neptune, with the distinction of having the coldest known surface in the solar system, at about 34.5 K. It is widely thought that Triton is a captured Kuiper belt object. The Kuiper belt is a second asteroid belt out beyond the orbit of Neptune. Pluto and Eris are examples of Kuiper belt objects. On 25 August 1989, the Voyager 2 spacecraft made a fly-by of the Neptunian system and took high-resolution pictures of Triton. It is one of the most distant solar system bodies to be photographed at this resolution, and will remain so until the New Horizons spacecraft reaches Pluto in 2015. Triton will also be the only likely Kuiper belt object to be photographed at this resolution until 2015. Triton is quite large — at 2700 km (1678 mi) diameter, it is about 78% the size of our Moon. It is considered one of the “big seven” satellites in the solar system, alongside Ganymede and other large satellites. Unique among large satellites, it has a retrograde o
{Intel}’s {Pentium} {core} logic {chip set}. In addition to the traditional features, this chip set supports: {EDO DRAM} to increase the {bandwidth} of the {DRAM} interface; “{pipelined} {burst SRAM}” for a cheaper, faster {second level cache}; “{bus master} {IDE}” control logic to reduce processor load; a plug and play port for easy implementation of functions such as audio. The Triton I chipset (official name 82430FX) consists of 4 chips: one 82437FX TSC (Triton Sysetm Controller), two 82438FX TDP (Triton Data Path), and one 82371FB PIIX (PCI IDE Xcellerator). It supports {PB Cache}, {EDO DRAM}, and a maximum {PCI} and memory burst data transfer rate of 100 {megabytes} per second. There are also {Moble Triton} (82430MX), {Triton II} (82430HX), and the {Triton VX} (82430VX) chip sets. {Introduction (http://www.asus.com.tw/Products/TB/triton-intro.html)}.
