2.2 CPU

The MEGA 865 supports Intel

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.

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system, always

make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU

from overheating.

The mainboard provides 2 slots for 184-pin DDR SDRAM DIMM (Double

In-Line Memory Module) modules and supports the memory size up to 2GB. You

can install PC3200/DDR400, PC2700/DDR333 or PC2100/DDR266 modules into

the DDR DIMM slots.

DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM is

similar to conventional SDRAM, but

doubles the rate by transferring data twice

per cycle. It uses 2.5 volts as opposed to

3.3 volts used in SDR SDRAM, and requires

184-pin DIMM modules rather than 168-

pin DIMM modules used by SDR SDRAM.

High memory bandwidth makes DDR an

ideal solution for high performance PC,

workstations and servers.
