Hi... I am curious to know what the differents are with sockets ? Is it just a different model styles ? It fits differently inside the case ? I mean you have 370 , 478 , 604 , 754 , 939/940 Is one better then the other ? Thanks on any input ...

Hi TerryFox, welcome to SAF

Sockets and slots depends on what processor you want to use... there are no bad or better sockets, but bad or better processors, depending on the user's choice.

Take a look at this resources, it's not complete but may help you to learn something about
