Installing an Upgrade Processor

As more powerful upgrade processors become available, you can
replace your main processor with a more powerful one. If you use an
Intel Overdrive processor, it is supplied with its own Voltage Regulator
Module (VRM), which must be installed with the processor. The VRM
ensures that the processor is provided with the correct voltage.
