Upgrading the CPU

The board supports a Pentium II processor or a Celeron processor.
processors come in a new enclosed packaging technology called S.E.C.
(Single-Edge Contact) cartridge. The only difference between the two is that the
Pentium II processor comes with 256-KB or 512-KB built-in second-level cache,
while the Celeron processor comes only with an internal cache. Both are capable
of increasing the performance of 32-bit software and multimedia applications.

previously installed processor on the system board.
Follow these steps to remove the processor card:
1. Press the latches on both sides of the processor to release it from the retention
