The socket is where you would put the processor. Every motherboard states what socket it uses. AM1, AM2, and AM3 are used for AMD CPUs while LGA sockets are for Intel CPUs. When buying a motherboard and/or processor, you need to make sure they match each other's socket type. The chipset is just the type of chipset the motherboard uses itself.
All you need to know when building/upgrading a computer are the following:
Power connector type (modern motherboards use a 24-pin connector but there are still some 20-pin power supplies available for older computers)
CPU socket type
RAM type (DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, etc.)
Hard drive type (SATA is the standard nowadays but older machines used IDE)
Expansion slot types (PCI and PCIe are used in a modern motherboard but AGP, VLBus, EISA, ISA, and MicroChannel have been used in the past; if you find something old enough to use something other than PCI or PCIe, avoid it)

Learn About Socket Motherboards?
There are several types of computer socket motherboards. The CPU socket consist of socket 478, 370 and socket A. The sockets used determine the type of processor your computer contains inside. When choosing a socket motherboard, you have to consider the chip set. The chip set contains the north bridge and the south bridge. They connect the CPU to the IO system of the computer. The north bridge is responsible for connecting the computer's memory. The south bridge connects the audio and the drives in the computer. The memory in the motherboard is an essential part of the computer. The RAM determines the speed of your system. The graphics card deals with images. Choosing a motherboard for your computer determines many processes.
What is the difference between a 266MHz chip and a 400MHz chip?
134Mhz
How do you connect a chip?
plug the chip into a socket
What is on a motherboard?
A motherboard contains several integrated components. Most motherboards will contain: * An IDE controller * A SATA controller (on newer motherboards) * A floppy controller (on older motherboards) * RAM sockets * Expansion slot(s) * The BIOS chip * Power connector * Processor socket / slot * Serial ports (phased out on some newer motherboards) * Parallel ports (phased out on some newer motherboards) Many motherboards will also integrate components that can also be replaced by an add-in card: * Graphics chipset * Network controller * Sound card * USB connectors * FireWire connectors * Dial-up modem * eSATA connector

Is the motherboard hardware or software?
Motherboards are hardware components, not software.
Main function processor socket?
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.
What are the difference between FPGA and DSP?
The major difference is that, a DSP is a chip which can be programmed based on our requirement, whereas an FPGA can be programmed to design a chip for our own purpose. FPGA can also be reprogrammed based on the changes in our application.
What is the difference between Laptop Card Level Course and Laptop Chip Level Course?
the name is different
Except the Fingerprint ID Scanner whats the difference between the iPhone 5S and 5C And which one is better?
Except the Fingerprint ID Scanner, the difference between the iPhone 5S and 5C is that the 5c has an A6 chip in it while the 5s has an A7 chip with 64-bit graphics.
