Chapter 2 Central Processing Unit: CPU The mainboard supports Single/Dual Intel® Pentium III processors. The mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 370 for easy CPU installation. You can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet your own needs. Keep the following points in mind before installing CPU(s): z If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the CPU1 socket. CPU1 z To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type of CPUs running at the same FSB frequency. When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a Heat Sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If you do not find the Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer. Note: Both Tualatin with 256K L2 cache and Tualatin with 512K L2 cache are able to be used on the motherboard. But Tualatin with 256K L2 cache can be used only when you install SINGLE CPU on the board. 2-2

The mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 370 for easy CPU
installation.
You can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the board to meet
your own needs.
Keep the following points in mind before installing CPU(s):
If
SINGLE
CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the
CPU1
socket.
To install
DUAL
CPUs on the board, you must use
the same type
of CPUs running at the same FSB frequency
.
When you are installing the CPU,
make sure the CPU has a Heat
Sink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating.
If you do
not find the Heat Sink and cooling fan, contact your dealer to purchase and
install them before turning on the computer.

Note:
Both Tualatin with 256K L2 cache and Tualatin with
512K L2 cache are able to be used on the motherboard.
But
Tualatin with 256K L2 cache can be used only when you
install SINGLE CPU on the board.
