OverviewOverview

Overview

The motherboard comes with a surface mount 754-pin Zero Insertion Force

(ZIF) socket designed for the AMD Athlon™ 64 or AMD Sempron processor.

The 128-bit-wide data paths of these processors can run applications

faster than processors with only 32-bit or 64-bit wide data paths.

Take note of the marked corner (with

gold triangle) on the CPU. This mark

should match a specific corner on the

socket to ensure correct installation.
