Replacing a

Microprocessor

The Microprocessor

(sometimes called a

"processor") inside your

computer performs

instructions and math

calculations. The more

powerful your micro-

processor, the faster certain

program tasks are

performed in multimedia

and communication

programs.

The microprocessor is usually

covered by a heatsink and

connects to an interface on the

System Board.

Introduction

Your Compaq Internet PC has an Easy Access panel that

makes accessing the internal parts easy. This document

describes how to remove and replace the microprocessor

(see Figure 1-1).

Important: The view shown may vary slightly by model.
