Best Answer

The socket 775 and the LGA 775 are the same. If you want to get technical it's not really a socket CPU, as the pins themselves are located on the socket grid and the back of the processor is flat with contact points. Totally opposite of what were used to seeing. Intel designed it this way to take increase the power distribution.

The term LGA stands for Land Grid Array

The most distinguishable difference is that LGA775 is not technically a socket. In LGA775 systems, the motherboard is the one with the pins; the CPU is flat. Socket 478, like other PGA sockets, has the holes, while the pins are on the processor.

It's the same thing, actually, LGA 771 is the same as socket J, socket 771 is just how it's commonly called, it's the server version of intels LGA 775

What is an lga775 and how does it work?

The LGA 775, or Socket T, is an Intel CPU socket for the desktop. Its job is to provide mechanical and electrical connections between the microprocessor and the PCB. LGA stands for Land Grid Array.


What socket do Pentium 4s use?

Pentium 4s were available in Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA 775.


What are CPU socket types?

They are basically formats for which CPU format will fit into what board. For example, any core 2 duo processor from Intel is probably an LGA 775 and will fit into LGA 775 socket motherboard. Any Core i7 processor will fit into any LGA 1366 socket motherboard. The list goes on.


Are there any 64-bit processors for Socket 478?

LGA 775 processors are supported by LGS 775 sockets. Most, if not all, Intel processors are LGA 775, and almost no, if any, AMD processors are LGA 775. At www.newegg.com look up your processor and check the specifications to see what socket type it is.


What is Socket 775?

Socket 775 (also known as LGA 775 or Socket T) is a socket for certain versions of the Intel Pentium 4, Celeron, Pentium D, Core Solo, Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, and Core 2 Quad. Unlike a traditional "socket", Socket 775 does not have any pinholes. instead, the pins are on the motherboard and reach up to contact the flat surface of the processor. Socket 775 was superseded by LGA 1156, but is still in common usage by most mainstream Core 2 Duo systems (as of January, 2010).


Can you put a i7on a 945GCM-S2C motherboard?

No...the Gigabyte 945GCM-S2C motherboard has the Intel LGA 775 processor socket (which only supports the Pentium, Celeron, Core 2 Duo etc.). The Intel Core i7 requires the LGA 1366 processor socket or the LGA 1156 socket, depending on which model you have.
