2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2.3.1 Overview
The motherboard comes with a surface mount 478-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) socket designed for the Intel® Pentium® 4 processor.
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.
Notes on Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology
1. This motherboard supports Intel Pentium 4 CPUs with HyperThreading Technology.
2. Hyper-Threading Technology is supported under Windows XP and
Linux 2.4.x (kernel) and later versions only. Under Linux, use the
Hyper-Threading compliler to compile the code. If you are using any
other operating systems, disable the Hyper-Threading Techonology
item in BIOS to ensure system stability and performance.
3. It is recommended that you install WinXP Service Pack 1.
