4 processors in the 478 pin package.
The mainboard uses a CPU socket called PGA478 for easy CPU installation. When
you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a heat sink and a cooling fan
attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not have the heat sink
and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on

Core/Bus ratio = 12
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 200MHz x 12
= 2.4 GHz
