Pentium II Processors were slot-based, and did not use a socket like most processors did. Imagine a game boy cartrige-- The Pentium II had a connection band just like a game cartrige does.
Socket (Slot) Types used by PII:
The socket type for the I31GM4 motherboard is LGA 775, which supports Intel Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core, Pentium D, Pentium 4, and Celeron processors.
Not necessarily. There have been three different sockets used for Pentium 4 processors (Socket 423, Socket 478, and LGA775). They are not interchangeable without special adapters. Even when pin-compatible, motherboard updates may be necessary for the processors to actually work.
A Pentium motherboard is not inherently compatible with an Intel i3 processor because compatibility depends on the specific motherboard model and its chipset. Pentium and i3 processors may use different socket types, so it's essential to check the motherboard’s specifications to determine if it supports the i3. If the socket type and chipset are compatible, then it may work; otherwise, you would need a different motherboard for the i3.
LGA 775, also known as Socket T, has 775 pins. It was used primarily for Intel's Pentium 4, Pentium D, and Core 2 processors. The socket design allows for a grid of pins on the motherboard that connect with pads on the processor, enabling proper communication and power delivery.
you need to be more specific (specific dual core pentium model) as various dual core pentium processors have been created over the years that use several different socket types
Pentium Pro
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.
Socket A.
socket 9
The first Pentium processors (Pentium 60 - 66). A Pentium OverDrive processor is also available for it.
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.
The Socket 478 is compatible primarily with Intel Pentium 4 processors, as well as some Pentium 4 Extreme Edition and Celeron processors. This socket was used for various Northwood and Prescott core variants, typically ranging from 1.5 GHz to 3.4 GHz. It's important to ensure that the motherboard's chipset also supports the specific CPU model you intend to use.
