The LGA 1156 connector is also called the H or H1 socket. It connects the motherboard to the CPU, or central processing unit. Without this connection, the computer will not function.

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.

LGA115X is a series of CPU sockets for the Core i3, i5, and i7 family of desktop CPUs. The purpose of a CPU socket is to properly seat the CPU in place on the system mainboard (motherboard) and allows the CPU to interface with the rest of the computer parts. It also makes it easier for the user and/or the computer company (OEM, original equipment manufacturer) to swap out any faulty CPUs or to allow its removal (while the computer's powered off) to conduct maintenance.
If you are meaning LGA1155, its the number of pin connector on a processor/cpu. For example, a core i7 2600k is compatible with a motherboard using a LGA 1155 socket.
LGA
An LGA 775 socket motherboard (desktop)
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.
Processors don't connect to a motherboard, there are installed in a socket. What determines if a processor is compatible is the type of processor... PGA(AMD most of the time) or LGA(Intel) and the ammount of pins that are on the motherboard/processor.
