2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount 939-pin Zero Insertion Force
(ZIF) socket designed for the AMD AMD Opteron™/Athlon™ 64 X2/
Athlon™ 64 FX/Athlon™ 64 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.
