Acer Power F5 Aspire T650/E500 and Power F5 Service Guide - Page 8

Chapter 1 System Specifications Overview All the new Socket-T motherboards come with a socket protector that has to be removed before you fit the CPU. This is to prevent damage to the pins inside the CPU socket before the chip is inserted. The new CPU socket is known as Socket-T and the new processors will be of LGA775 type. LGA stands forLand Grid Array and means that there are no pins on the bottom of the CPU, although there are still contact surfaces - no less 775 of them. The CPU interface has been moved to the mainboard socket and this is a way for Intel to get fewer returns in terms of damaged CPUs due to bent or broken pins. These two models (Aspire T650/E500 & AcerPower F5) use ATI on die VGA chipset to address the overall platform graphic performance. We provide the most time-to-market specification: T Support Intel 775 pin mainstream CPU up to P4 4.0Ghz/FSB 800 T On board ATI VGA performed great graphic power than previous AGP 8X T Add-On PCI-Express VGA card provides extra graphic solution for extensive gamers T DDR II memory with dual channel provides faster processing speed and efficiency Aspire T650/E500 will be the product name for consumer market. AcerPower F5 will be the product name for commercial market.
