Microprocessor
The motherboard supports a single Celeron D, Pentium 4 or Pentium D processor.
The processor’s VID pins automatically program the voltage regulator on the
motherboard to the required processor voltage. In addition, the front side bus speed
is automatically selected. The motherboard currently supports processors that run
internally up to 3.6GHz and have up to a 2MB second-level cache running at full
CPU Speed.
The processor implements MMX ™ technology and maintains full backward
compatibility with the 8086, 80286, Intel386 ™, Intel486 ™, Pentium, Pentium Pro,
Pentium II & Pentium III processors. The processor’s numeric coprocessor
significantly increases the speed of floating-point operations and complies with
ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.
Microprocessor Packaging
The Pentium 4/D processor comes in an LGA package that connects to the
motherboard through a socket 775 connector. The package consists of:
•
Processor card including the processor core and the second-level cache,
burst pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM) and tag RAM.
•
Thermal
plate.
•
Back
cover.
