                           this slot type for the AMD Athlon processor in 1999.

·         Socket 370    - There is 370 pins. Therefore it named as “Socket 370”. Intel PII, PIII,

    Intel Celeron, VIA Cyrix III, VIA C3 processors could connect to the 

                            Socket 370.

·     Socket 462/Socket A  -Also that introduced for the AMD processor in 2000. AMD Athlon,AMD  

                                  Duron, AMD Athlon XP, AMD Athlon XP-M, AMD Athlon MP, AMD  Sempron  

                                  processors can connect to this slot.

·         Socket 423    - This slot used or the first Pentium 4 processor and it introduced in 2000.

·         Socket 478/Socket N  - It used to the after introduce Pentium 4 & Intel Celeron Processor.

·         PAC 418        - In 2001,this manufactured for the sever computer’s Intel Itanium Processor.

·         Socket 603    - In 2001, this introduced for the sever computer’s Intel Xeon processor.

·         PAC 611        - In 2002, PAC 611 socket introduced for the sever computer’s Intel Itanium 2  

                                 processor.

·         Socket 754    - This introduced in 2003. It use to AMD Athlon 64, AMD Sempron, AMD

                                 Turion 64 processors.

·         Socket 939    - Introduced in 2004 and could use for the AMD Athlon 64, AMD Athlon 64

                                 FX, AMD Athlon 64 X2, AMD Opteron processors.

·         LGA 775        - This is the first LGA processor socket and introduces in 2004. It can use for  
                                 the Intel Pentium 4, Intel Pentium D, Intel Celeron , Intel Celeron D, Intel  
                                 Pentium XE, Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core2 Quad, Intel Xeon  processors from  
                                 made LGA technology.

·         LGA 771        - Introduced in 2006. It use for the sever computer’s Intel Xeon processor

                                 made by LGA technology.

·         Socket AM2   - Introduced in 2006 & used old PGA technology. This socket can connect to 
                                 the AMD Athlon 64 & AMD Athlon 64X2 processor.

·         Socket AM2+    - Introduces in 2007. Also it use old PGA technology. AMD Athlon 64, AMD 

                                 Athlon X2, AMD Phenom, Phenom II processors can install this.

·         Socket 441    - In 2008 it manufactured in Intel Athlon processor’s motherboard.

·         LGA 1156      - This socket introduced in 2009 & Intel Core i7 (800 series), Intel Core i5

                                 (700,600 series), Intel Core i3 (500 series), Intel Xeon (X3400, L3400 series), 

                                 Intel Pentium (G6000 series), Intel Celeron (G1000 series) processors (LGA 

                                 technology) can install this socket.

·         LGA 1366      - This use for the Core i7 (900 series), Intel Xeon (35xx, 36xx, 55xx,56xx series)  

                                 processors.

·         Socket AM3   - This introduced from old AMD technology in 2009. AMD Phenom II, AMD 

                                 Athlon II, AMD Sempron processors can install it.

·         Socket G34   - Introduced in 2010 & it has LGA technology. It can use for the AMD Opteron 

                                 (6000 series) processors.

·         Socket C32   - use for the AMD Opteron (4000 series) processors.

·         LGA 1248      - Introduced in 2010 & use for the sever computer’s Intel Itanium 9300 series 

                                 processors.

·         LGA 1567      - This processor socket use for the Intel Xeon 6500/7500 series processors.

·         LGA 1155      - This introduced for the new Intel sandy Bridge –DT processor in 2011.

·         Socket FM1   - Introduced in 2011 & new AMD Llano processor can connect to it. But this 

                                 socket has used old PGA technology.

However easy to recognize all the processor socket. Because that socket name noticed near the processor socket in mother board………….
