Prescott processor in the 478-pin package with 512KB L2 cache. The
motherboard supports 800/533/400MHz front side bus (FSB), and allows
data transfer rates of up to 6.4GB/s.

Note in the illustration that the CPU has a gold triangular mark on one
corner. This mark indicates the processor Pin 1 that should match a
specific corner of the CPU socket.

Incorrect installation of the CPU into the socket may bend the pins and
severely damage the CPU!
