Socket-939
Socket-939 is a 939-contact CPU socket which is used by AMD CPU's, such as the Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX.
Socket-939 supports a 200MHz system clock and a 1000Mhz HyperTransport link.
The Socket-939 is a Pin Grid Array (PGA) Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket.
A ZIF socket features a lever on one side of the socket. When this lever is pulled up, the spring contacts inside the socket are opened. This allows the CPU to be inserted easily into the socket. The lever is then pushed down, closing the spring contacts and clamping the CPU into place.

Socket 940 is a 940-contact CPU socket used by some AMD Opteron and Athlon 64 FX processors. Socket-940 supports a 200MHz system clock and an 800Mhz HyperTransport link. The Socket-940 is designed for use the registered error-correcting memory. The makes the Socket-940 extremely suitable for server-class machines. The Socket-940 is a Pin Grid Array (PGA) [...]...
- Socket 754
Socket 754 is a 754-contact CPU socket used by some AMD Athlon and Sempron processors. Socket-754 supports a 200MHz system clock and an 800Mhz HyperTransport link. Socket-754 is similar to Socket-939, except that Socket-754 supports only one memory controller channel as opposed to the dual channels available on the Socket-939 and that the HyperTransport bus [...]...
- Socket-478
Socket-478 is a 478-contact CPU socket used by some Intel Celeron, Pentium 4, and Pentium 4 Extreme Edition CPU’s. Socket-478 supports a 100MHz, 133Mhz, or 200Mhz Front Side Bus. The Socket-478 is a Pin Grid Array (PGA) Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket. A ZIF socket features a lever on one side of the socket. When [...]...
