1.6 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount 939-pin Zero Insertion Force
(ZIF) socket designed for the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2/AMD Athlon™ 64FX/
AMD Athlon™ 64/AMD Sempron™ processor.
The 128-bit-wide memory 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.
