About Socket-370 Processors
The socket-370 only supports the Intel PPGA Celeron processor.
Intel PPGA Celeron
PPGA stands for Plastic Pin Grid Array. This is a description of the
square plastic package that the processor is embedded in. The PPGA
Celeron is identical to the SEPP Celeron, except for the external
packaging. PPGA Celerons run at clock speeds from 300 MHz through
to 500 MHz. All the current PPGA Celerons operate over a 66 MHz
system bus. The PPGA Celeron is less expensive than a SEPP Celeron
with the same clock speed.
Installing a Slot1 Processor
This board has a SLOT1 processor cartridge slot. The slot must be
installed with a cartridge holder that supports the processor cartridge.
The cartridge holder may be already installed on your mainboard with
the support brackets folded over. In this case simply pull the support
brackets into the upright position.

If the cartridge holder is not already installed, install it onto the slot1.
Some cartridge holders are in two parts, one part for each end of the
slot1. Other cartridge holders are a single assembly which sits over the
whole length of the slot1.
