Hardware Setup
Central Processing Unit: CPU
The mainboard supports Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 Northwood/Prescott processors in
the 775 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called LGA775 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 the computer.
