1.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)

This motherboard comes with a 940-pin AMD

Socket AM2+ / AM2 for AMD Phenom™ II /

Phenom™ / Athlon™ FX / Athlon™ 64 / Sempron™ processor.

The AM2/AM2+ socket has a different pinout from the 940-pin socket designed for the

AMD Opteron™ processor. Ensure that you use a CPU that is designed for the AM2/AM2+

socket. The CPU ts in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket

to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU!

(DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 DIMM has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but

has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched

differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket.
