Your computer has an extra processor socket.
• Some computers have two processor sockets that can be used for dual
processing as well as for single processing. The Pentium OverDrive
processor with MMX technology does not support dual processing.
However, if you use your two-socket computer in single-processing
mode, you can upgrade your computer with the Pentium OverDrive
processor with MMX technology.
To install:
1. Remove the original processor from the socket. Refer to instal-
lation steps 4 through 6 for more information on removing the
original processor.
2. Align and seat the Pentium OverDrive processor with MMX
technology in an upgrade socket. (Usually this is the same socket
that contained the original processor. Refer to your computer's
owner's manual for information on locating the upgrade socket.)
Refer to installation step 7 for more information on aligning and
seating the OverDrive processor with MMX technology.
3. Continue with installation step 8.
