Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports AMD'' Athlon™, Athlon™ XP and Duron™
processors in the 462 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called
Socket A 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 purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
