Before You Begin
The TurboChip installation should take less than 15 minutes to complete.
Before you begin, however, there is one very important point to be aware of.
First, notice the location of Pin 1 on the TurboChip upgrade denoted by a
white triangle on the bottom of the unit. This corner of the upgrade must match
Pin 1 on the processor socket (See figures below). Your computer should be
using either a Socket 5 or Socket 7 type processor socket. Pin 1 orientation is
standard for both socket types. Take a few moments to read the section below
before beginning the installation process.
Pin 1 Orientation
The location of Pin 1 on the TurboChip must be oriented to match Pin 1 on
the processor socket. The TurboChip
into the CPU socket. If the pins are aligned, the TurboChip
upgrade is keyed to fit only one way
should easily slide
into the socket. Refer to the figures below for proper orientation:
