AN430TX Motherboard Technical Product Specification
1.5 Microprocessor
The motherboard supports:
Pentium processors operating at 90, 100, 120, 133, 150, 166, and 200 MHz
Pentium processors with MMX technology operating at 166, and 200 MHz
An onboard voltage regulator derives the necessary voltage from the computer's power supply and
enables use of standard or VRE-specified processors. The motherboard automatically detects the
type of processor (Pentium processor or Pentium processor with MMX technology).
CAUTION
If you use clips to secure a heat sink
to the processor, do not use bail-wire
style heat sink clips, such as the type
shown in the figure to the right.
These clips have been known to
damage the motherboard when
installed or removed incorrectly.
