CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
If
CPU Clock
=
100MHz
Core/Bus ratio
=
17
then
CPU core speed
=
Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
=
100MHz x 17
=
1.7 GHz
The mainboard supports Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 Prescott & Northwood processor 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 purchase and install them before
turning on the computer. (For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.
