Once you locate the processor, look in the immediate area to determine
whether or not your system has an empty socket specifically dedicated for the
Pentium OverDrive processor.
A Quick Word About Socket Types
There are several types of Pentium OverDrive processor sockets. You must
determine which socket type you have in order to successfully insert your
Pentium OverDrive processor.
Two common variations are the Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket and Low
Insertion Force (LIF) socket.
As the illustration shows, you can identify a ZIF socket type by the handle
which locks/unlocks to allow placement of the Pentium OverDrive processor.
LIF sockets do not have a handle, as shown.
