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 and AMD Sempron™ processors.
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!
