AMD Athlon™ / Duron™ Processor Family
Cooling Solutions
As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management
becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal
environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper
thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature.
Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and
concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of
heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, AMD recommends the use of
thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor.
When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of
heatsinks evaluated and recommended by AMD for use with AMD processors. Note, those heatsinks
are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this
collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support AMD processors.

Introduction of V4MDF/V4MDFT Motherboard
1-1 The 2-User Motherboard V4MDFT
The special designed 2-user motherboard (V4MDFT) allows two users to share the computing
power of a single PC system. With integrated connectivity hardware onboard, the
motherboard comes with innovative software, the MagicTwin®, allowing 2 users to be
connected to it and runs up to two stations directly from it simultaneously. The unique and
copyright-protected MagicTwin® technology makes each of the 2 users feel like having
himself his own Windows-XP computer. Each user needs to have himself his own keyboard,
mouse, sound device, and monitor. All remaining PC hardware are shared, even the IP.
Both users can operate on their own station concurrently just like the operation of a standard
PC. There is no obvious delay because of the Time-slicing/Multiplexing technology built-in.
Each user gets an exact and extremely short defined moment to access to the PC system,
devices, applications and Windows itself. Resources are only claimed for nanoseconds at a
time, usually from electronic memory, or cache. Both users get from Windows and the PC,
what they really need when they need it! The MagicTwin solution turns the single PC into a
cost-effective multi-user system.
The setup is intuitive and easy. In only a few minutes, users can install and start using their
new workstation. No network administrator is needed as everything to network the
workstations together is done automatically with the MagicTwin software. You can add
immediately additional user station to the single system and turn one PC into two.

2-3-2 About AMD Athlon & Duron 462-pin CPU
This motherboard supports Socket-A (Socket-462) AMD Athlon/Duron processors.
This motherboard Provides a ZIF Socket-A. The CPU that comes with the motherboard
should have a cooling FAN attached to prevent overheating. If this is not the case, then
purchase a correct cooling FAN before you turn on your system.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Be sure that there is sufficient air circulation across the processor’s heatsink
and CPU cooling FAN is working correctly, otherwise it may cause the
processor and motherboard overheat and damage, you may install an auxiliary
cooling FAN, if necessary.
Due to this motherboard provides new function of protecting CPU；you must
connect the CPU FAN connector on CPUFAN location in order to obtain this
feature. Without connection on CPUFAN (or you have connect CPU FAN on
FAN1), the system will shut down immediately to protect both your CPU and
motherboard.
To install a CPU, first turn off your system and remove its cover. Locate the ZIF socket and
open it by first pulling the level sideways away from the socket then upward to a 90-degree
angle. Insert the CPU with the correct orientation as shown below. The notched corner
should point toward the end of the level. Because the CPU has a corner pin for two of the
four corners, the CPU will only fit in the orientation as shown.

When you put the CPU into the ZIF socket. No force require to insert of the CPU, then press
the level to Locate position slightly without any extra force.
2-4 Install Memory
This motherboard provides two 184-pin DUAL INLINE MEMORY MODULES (DIMM)
sites for memory expansion available from minimum memory size of 64MB to maximum
memory size of 2.0GB DDR SDRAM.

NOTE!
When you install DIMM module fully into the DIMM socket the eject tab should
be locked into the DIMM module very firmly and fit into its indention on both
sides.
WARNING!
For the DDR SDRAM CLOCK is set at 133MHz, use only DDR266-compliant
DDR Modules. When this motherboard operate at 133Mhz, most system will not
even boot if non-compliant modules are used because of the strict timing issues, if
your DDR Modules are not DDR266-compliant, set the DDR SDRAM clock to
100MHz to ensure system stability.
