What are the functions of a CPU slot?
CPU slot(s) and/or socket(s)The type of CPU slot or socket determines which processors the motherboard can use. The most popular CPU connectors are Socket 370 (late-model Intel Pentium III and Celeron processors), Socket A (AMD Athlon and Duron), Socket 478 (current Celeron and Pentium 4), Socket 423 (old-style Pentium 4), Slot 1 (old-style Pentium II/III and Celeron), Slot A (older-style Athlon), and the obsolete Socket 7 (Intel Pentium and AMD K6-* processors). Some motherboards have two or more CPU connectors, allowing them to support multiple processors. A few motherboards have both Slot 1 and Socket 370 connectors, allowing them to support either type of CPU (but not both at once).There are three versions of Socket 370, which differ in pinouts and which processors they support. Early Socket 370/PPGA motherboards support only older Mendocino-core Celeron processors. Later Socket 370/FC-PGA motherboards support Coppermine-core Pentium III FC-PGA processors and Coppermine128-core Celeron FC-PGA processors. The final Socket 370 motherboards, which Intel refers to as "Universal" models, support any Socket 370 processor, including Tualatin-core Pentium III and Celeron processors. Although Socket 370 is now obsolescent, tens of millions of Socket 370 systems remain in use. When you upgrade such a system it is important to check the documentation to determine which Socket 370 variant that system uses.
Can you use a Slot 1 CPU with a socket type motherboard?
No. Slot 1 cartridges were extremely complex. In addition to likely not fitting correctly in most, the connector would be extremely fragile, holding a large and bulky cartridge by a few fragile pins. No adapter was ever created for this reason. However, there are adapters to use Socket 370 processors on a Slot 1 motherboard. This is possible because Socket 370 processors are much smaller than Slot 1.
What socket size for i7 processor?

What processors use socket 423?
Pentium Pro
What type of socket do Amd quad processors use?
939
What is the latest socket for Intel desktop processors?
Socket 7LGA775 socket
Which type of motherboard socket is used for a Pentium 4 CPU?
Socket A.
What three sockets are currently used for Intel processors in mothers boards for desktop systems?
Socket 1366 Socket 1156 Socket 1155 Socket LGA 2011 are in use presently
What processors use Socket A?
Some Cpu's that use Socket A are Athlon Xp, Athlon Mp, Athlon Model 4 AMD's Athlons and Duron use Socket A, also known as Socket 462. The AMD Athlon and the AMD Duron use a 426-pin socket called Socket A. The Athlon Thunderbird
What is a FC-PGA socket?
It is a type of array to fit into an intel Socket 370 or Socket 478 CPU socket.
Did the Intel Pentium II come in a socket?
No. The Pentium II was only available in a Slot 1 cartridge, with the exception of the Pentium II Overdrive, which was made as an upgrade to Socket 8 motherboards. Pentium II-based Celerons, however, were the first processors available for Socket 370, which was later used for Pentium IIIs.
What processors are used with Socket AM3 Connector?
The Socket AM3 Connector is compatible with the AM3 and AM3+ processors, but not AM2 or AM2+ processors, which have 940 pins instead of the 941 pins of the AM3/AM3+.
