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