SocketsThe difference is basically the fit. Think of processors as US and European plugs, US plugs will only fit into US plugs while European plugs will only fit into European plugs. The plug or socket in question is on the mother board itselff. A socket N motherboard for example will only take processors that have an N socket.

Correction: a socket T is a LGA 775 package which means that it has a 775 pin CPU which fit into a 775 contact(not pin receiver) socket on the motherboard. A socket N is a mPGA478B package meaning a 478 pin CPU that will fit in a motherboard with a 478 pin hole receiver socket. ~Yagon~
