SocketToEm

Ah... yet another mobo/socketchange for the blue team. Datacenter managers will love changing everything out to keep up with the latest Satan Clara "Improvement."

Great fanboy article.

We need an even hand! We need some balance! Charlie, where are you!?

Give Me Ball Grid Contacts.

One thing, More PINS=Thiner Pins & thats' Problem. as pins bend & Break.

Ball Grid could be used with few, say 5 guide pins on edges, guide pins being dead & fairly large. Even 939 had problems with broken Pins., primarily due to intentional ridges on socket, just to break PINS.

Also if I used screen coordinate system will this hit o,o at same point everytime or say 468,493 or any point exactly, you need to put bit o' tape on screen & exactly mark lite up pixel & compare, is 0,0 to 468,493 correct? this is more tukwila question, yet why not start here. maybe its o.k., of course.

Tukwila is city in state of Washington.

Why it's still a "socket"?

The socket is socketed, which is very interesting to say the least. A socket could thus be changed and not the entire board? Cool if so...

"Yet Another"? It was over 4 years ago that the socket changed. I believe it's more than welcome considering what goes in the thing.

And IBM is the blue team.
