Socket 478b is a CPU socket from Intel Corporation with 478 pin contacts, mainly released in 2007 for some laptop PC chips under the Core 2 brand. It is not compatible with AMD sockets. The socket supports various CPUs, including Pentium Dual-Core and Celeron M, and uses the PGA form factor with FCPGA variant. It […]
Socket 478 CPUs were used in a connector created by Intel in 2001 for Pentium 4 and Celeron CPUs. They have processing speeds between 1.4 GHz and 3.46 GHz and an FSB between 400 MHz and 1.066 MHz. They were phased out in 2008 in favor of socket 775 CPUs. The socket is designed to […]
Socket 462, also known as Socket A, is a CPU socket designed by AMD for their Athlon brand of PC chips. It has 462 pin holes arranged in a pin grid array and requires a data rate of 200-400 MHz. It was used for Athlon, Duron, Sempron, and Geode NX chips until it was replaced […]
When choosing a socket 478 motherboard, consider the RAM and other hardware you want to use. It’s an old technology, so upgrading to newer hardware may be a better option. Look for a motherboard that supports the amount of RAM and other devices you want to use. To choose the best socket 478 motherboard you […]
Socket 604 is a CPU socket for Intel’s Xeon processors, released in 2002. It has 603 active contacts and a dummy pin, and is compatible with Xeon CPUs with a data transfer rate of 400-1.066 MHz. It adheres to the PGA form factor and offers a zero insertion force feature. Socket 604 processors were manufactured […]
Socket B, also known as LGA 1366, is a CPU socket from Intel for Core i7, Celeron, and Xeon processors. It has 1,366 pins and uses Intel QuickPath Interconnect for data transfer. It replaced LGA 775 and 771 and is compatible with some Intel Core i7 CPUs. The socket has pins and is designed to […]
A PLCC socket can connect a CPU or other computer chips, with pins, leads, and through holes for different chips. PLCC sockets generate less heat and allow for easy chip replacement. Most sockets on a motherboard are made to connect the central processing unit (CPU) to the computer, but a plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) […]
ADSL is a digital communication technology that allows for fast data transfer over telephone lines. An ADSL jack is a cable connection point on a computer or wireless networking hub, or a filter jack needed to split signals. A filtering ADSL jack is necessary to remove data rate interference. ADSL is more suitable for home […]
The Socket A motherboard, created by AMD in 2000, contains the CPU socket and all computer connectors. It supports AMD Athlon, Duron, Sempron, and Geode NX processors with specific data rates and voltage ranges. The motherboard is a PGA subcategory called OPGA and adheres to the ZIF standard. It has been replaced by Sockets 754 […]
Unix® domain sockets are interprocess communication sockets that connect programs on the same computer. They are more like named pipes than traditional sockets and offer byte streams and datagrams. They are secure and assume Unix® system rules, making them useful for local area networks. They do not require authentication and are not accessible to untrusted […]
Internet sockets are a software concept used for transmitting data over the internet. They work at the transport layer of the IP stack and can be connectionless or connection-oriented. Servers create unique sockets for clients, and raw sockets allow for faster delivery of packets. An Internet socket is a term used to identify a connection […]
