No. The pinout differences between a Socket 7 and a Socket 370 processor are too great to adapt the Celeron to the older board. If your board is Super Socket 7 capable, you can run an AMD K6-III at 500 MHz (and it can sometimes be overclocked to 550 MHz).
Cartridge processor packages can stand up on their end and install in a slot on the motherboard or lay flat in a socket? TRUE
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.
True
An AM2 Socket is a type of socket used by a Processor on a motherboard. These are AMD processors, as indicated by the "AM". When you buy a motherboard and processor you must make sure that they have the same socket and that your motherboard supports the processor you have chosen.

Yes, Sure will
True
Depends on what processor you're using. Go to the manufacturer's site and find the product, it should tell you the socket that the processor requires. Any motherboard with that socket will be compatible
Many processors will not work on a Socket 7 motherboard. Providing a full list of every processor that is notcompatible with a Socket 7 board would be impossible.
The processor socket is both a technical convention and functional component. As a convention Socket # such as 775 and 1150 regard motherboard chip type compatibility. The functional aspects of the socket serve as the electrical interface between the motherboard (and its peripherals) to the processor itself.
processor must be compatible with socket on motherboard
Correct.
