LGA : Land Grid Array <== pins are in the socket, no pins are attached on the CPU, only pads.

PGA: Pin Grid Array <== pins are attached on to the socket, the socket has some sort of "holes" that hold the processor

How do lga sockets differ from PGA and sec?

They are physically different. LGA (Land Grid Array) uses surface-mountedconnectors, PGA (Pin Grid Array) uses pin connectors, and SECC (Single Edge Contact Cartridge) uses a slot connector.

What is the difference between socket 775 and lga 775?

The socket 775 and the LGA 775 are the same. If you want to get technical it's not really a socket CPU, as the pins themselves are located on the socket grid and the back of the processor is flat with contact points. Totally opposite of what were used to seeing. Intel designed it this way to take increase the power distribution. The term LGA stands for Land Grid Array


Is LGA faster than a PGA?

Basically, neither of them is faster. the speed depends on the CPU design. the faster the frequency, the faster the processing speed.:-D

What processor connect to the motherboard?

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.


Why is it important to insert a processor straight down into a socket rather than sliding the processor in from the side or allowing it to tilt into the socket?

Because the pins on the bottom of the processor can be easily bent (assuming that this is a processor for a PGA (Pin Grid Array) or SPGA (Staggerd PGA) socket. It is worth noting though that a processor for a LGA (Land Grid Array) socket is not as susceptible to this as the there are lands or pads on the bottom of the processor instead of pins; the pins are in the socket. The book that asks this question assumes PGA. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Very true BUT you can bend the lands in an LGA socket, rendering the socket hence the motherboard useless!
