1.6Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA775 socket designed for
the Intel® Core™2 Duo/Pentium® D/ Pentium® 4/Celeron® processor in the
775-land package.
•
Your boxed Intel® Core™2 Duo/Pentium® D/Pentium® 4/Celeron
LGA775 processor package should come with installation
instructions for the CPU, fan and heatsink assembly. If the
instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation,
follow the latter.
•Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is
on the socket and the socket pins are not bent. Contact your
retailer immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any
damage to the PnP cap/socket pins/motherboard components.
ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/
transit-related.
•Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the
motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA775 socket.
•
The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket pins
resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/
loss/incorrect removal of the PnP cap.

CPU Socket 775
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing
towards you and the load lever is on your left.
2.Press the load lever with your thumb (A) and move it to the left (B)
until it is released from the retention tab.

The motherboard comes with two Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a
240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are
notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:

You may install 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered non-ECC DDR2
DIMMs into the DIMM sockets.
•Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum
compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules
from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on
the next page for details.
•Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than
4 GB system memory when you installed two 2 GB DDR2 memory
modules.
•This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of
128 Mb chips or double sided x16 memory modules.
