CPU Core Speed Derivation Procedure
CPU Clock multiplied by Core/Bus ratio equals the CPU core speed.
For example:
If CPU Clock = 100MHz
Core/Bus ratio = 14
then CPU core speed = Host Clock x Core/Bus ratio
= 100MHz x 14
= 1.4 GHz
The mainboard supports Intel

4/Celeron Northwood/Prescott
processor in the 478 pin package. The mainboard uses a CPU socket called
PGA478 for easy CPU installation. 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.
