If CPU Clock = 100MHz

Core/Bus ratio = 20

then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio

= 100MHz x 20

= 2.0 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.
