The VIA P4MA mainboard supports the Intel
®
Pentium
®
4 processor in the 478
pin package (PGA478). When installing the CPU, ensure the CPU has a large-
size heatsink and a cooling fan attached on the top to prevent overheating. If
the heatsink and cooling fan are not included with the CPU, contact your
dealer to purchase and install them before turning on the computer.
