knowledgeable PC users.  It provides information for the installation and use

of the 

 P8SAA+ motherboard.  The P8SAA+ supports single Intel

Pentium

®

 4 Processor (the Prescott Processor) in the 775-Land Grid Array

Package  at a system bus speed of 1066 MHz/800 MHz/533 MHz.  The

Pentium 4 Processor in the 775-Land Grid Array Package is housed in a

Flip-Chip Land Grid Array (FC-LGA4) package that interfaces with the moth-

erboard via an LGA775 socket. The package consists of a processor core

mounted on a substrate land-carrier.  An integrated heat spreader (IHS) is

attached to the package substrate and core and serves as the contacting

surface for processor component thermal solutions, such as a heatsink.

Please refer to the motherboard specifications pages on our web site (http:/
