This motherboard supports AMD® Athlon and Duron Socket 462 series CPU. Be careful of CPU orientation when you plug it into
CPU socket (with CPU Overheat Protection function implemented, the system will be automatically power off when the
temperature of CPU reached 97 degree, but works on AthlonXP CPU only).
1. Pull up the CPU socket lever and
up to 90-degree angle.
2. Locate Pin 1 in the socket and look for a black dot or cut edge on the
CPU upper interface. Match Pin 1 and cut edge, then insert the CPU into
the socket.

Core Frequency = CPU Bus Clock * CPU Ratio EV6 Bus Speed = CPU external bus clock x 2
PCI Clock = CPU Bus Clock / Clock Ratio AGP Clock = PCI Clock x 2
