System Overview
2.3.1 Intel Processor Support
The models covered in this guide are designed to support the following processor types:
■ Intel Celeron: energy-efficient single-core performance
■ Intel Pentium Dual-Core: Dual core performance
■ Intel Core2 Duo: energy-efficient dual-core performance
■ Intel Core2 Quad: energy efficient quad-core design
These processors are backward-compatible with software written for earlier x86 microprocessors
and include streaming SIMD extensions (SSE, SSE2, and SSE3) for enhancing 3D graphics and
speech processing performance.
The system board includes a zero-insertion-force (ZIF) Socket-T designed for mounting an
LGA775-type processor package.
CAUTION: The USDT form factor can support a processor rated up to 65 watts. The SFF and CMT form
factors can support a processor rated up to 95 watts. Exceeding these limits can result in system damage
and lost data.
✎
The processor heatsink/fan assembly mounting differs between form factors. Always use the
same assembly or one of the same type when replacing the processor. Refer to the applicable
Service Reference Guide for detailed removal and replacement procedures of the heatsink/fan
assembly and the processor.
