Current processor sockets are called?

Zero Insertion Force(ZIF)


Is it true that current processor sockets called zero insertion force or ZIF sockets have a small lever on the side that lifts the processor up and out of the socket?

The lever doesn't lift the processor out of the socket; it takes the shearing force off of the processor pins inside of the holes, so that the processor can be lifted out, or inserted, with no pressure necessary. When you lower the lever on a ZIF socket, the pins are clamped down on under the socket plastic housing.


What has a lever that is used to lift the processor up and out of the socket?

zero insertion force sockets (see page 178 in A+ Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC) "PGA, SPGA, and LGA sockets are all square or nearly square. So that even force is applied when inserting the processor in the socket, all current processor sockets have a lever on the side of the socket. These sockets are called zero insertion force (ZIF) sockets, and this lever is used to lift the processor up and out of the socket. Push the lever down and the processor moves into its pin or land connectors with equal force over the entire housing."


Can you put in any processor in a computer?

No, the processor that you put on the motherboard has to have the same socket as the motherboard. The socket number will be right on the the part that the processor snaps onto. You also have to check the motherboard manual to see if it is compatible with the new processor speed ( example: 1.3ghz)
