3.4

Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The motherboard comes with a surface mount 478-pin Zero Insertion
Force (ZIF) socket. This socket is specifically designed for the Intel

®

Pentium

®

4 478/Northwood Processor.

The Intel Pentium 4 Processor in the 478-pin package uses the Flip-Chip
Pin Grid Array 2 (FC-PGA2) package technology, and includes the Intel

®

NetBurst™ micro-architecture. The Intel NetBurst micro-architecture
features the hyper-pipelined technology, rapid execution engine,
533/400MHz system bus, and execution trace cache. Together, these
attributes improve system performance by allowing higher processor
frequencies, faster execution of integer instructions, and a data transfer
rate of 4.3GB/s and 3.2GB/s.

NOTE
Refer to sections “2.3 Install a CPU” and “2.4 Install the CPU heatsink
and fan” for instructions on installing the Intel Pentium 4 CPU and the
heatsink/fan assembly.
