LGA-775

LGA-775 is a 775-contact CPU socket used by some Intel Celeron D, Pentium D, Pentium Extreme Edition, Pentium 4, and Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processors.

LGA stands for “Land Grid Array”. In English, this means that the pins in an LGA socket are built into the socket — not into the CPU.

This total reversal of earlier designs gives better power distribution, which enables Front Side Bus speeds up to 266MHz.

Moving the fragile pins from the CPU to the motherboard also means that if you break a pin, you will have to replace an inexpensive motherboard instead of an expensive CPU.

LGA-775 supports a 133MHz, 200Mhz, or 266Mhz Front Side Bus.

LGA-775 is also known as Socket-T and Socket-775.
