Transcription: Your PC is built for a flexible future. Next to the microprocessor, you may find one or two empty chip sockets. If your microprocessor is a 386 or earlier model, one of these sockets is for the MATH co-processor. As the name suggests, it's there to handle complicated arithmetic that would take your main processor a whole lot longer to do. On most 486 and Pentium machines, the MATH co-processor is included in the main processor. cases the extra socket is for a clock doubler which can double the speed the processor handles most operations.
