CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 16
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 16
= 1.6 GHz
The mainboard supports Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 Northwood/Prescott proces-
sor 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 find the heat sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to pur-
chase and install them before turning on the computer.
