1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

1.6.1 Overview

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

socket designed for the AMD 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.

Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and

severely damage the CPU!
