939
It works with Embedded AMD Athlon Single and Dual Processors, Quad-Core AMD Phenom Processors, and AMD ASB1 Processors based on COM Express Reference Design and Mini-ITX Reference Design.
CPU socket 939 was released by AMD in 2004, it supports both single and dual core processors. Socket 939 supersedes socket 754 for Anthlon 64 processors, it is no longer in production.
it is BGA413 socket
It depends on the type of AMD processor. The current AM3 generation has 938 pins.
If you have an AMD Duron processor, those run on a Socket A motherboard, which is very outdated in 2011. No major retailers sell processors for such an old socket. I would recommend an upgrade, as Newegg.com has Socket AM3 (the newest AMD processor socket) Sempron processors for as low as $36.99 and AM3 motherboards for as low as $39.99.
Obviously different companies, but besides that AMD processors mu go in motherboard that use an AMD socket and Intel processors must go into an Intel based socket. Intel processors seem to be a bit more expensive but Intel is on top with the newest technology. Many AMD "fans" would argue this.
Socket A is also known as Socket 462. This CPU socket is used for AMD processors, manufactured by Athlon Thunderbird.
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
An AM2 Socket is a type of socket used by a Processor on a motherboard. These are AMD processors, as indicated by the "AM". When you buy a motherboard and processor you must make sure that they have the same socket and that your motherboard supports the processor you have chosen.

The question you're asking, unfortunately, is not worded correctly. An Intel processor is a family of processor, where a quad-core processor is a type of processor. The Intel family includes many types of quad-core processors. However, to try and disambiguate what you're asking, an Intel core processor will be good, no matter what type it is. An Intel quad-core processor - for example, the Intel i7 - will perform fantastically well. The other main type of processor manufacturer - AMD - also have quad-core processors. However, a lot of it is down to opinion and machine build as to whether Intel is better than AMD, but personally, I believe Intel will out-perform and out-last an AMD processor.
Well, all motherboards are socket motherboards (When we're talking about the personal computer, of course!). The socket and socket type are what determine which processor you can use with your board! Take AM2 / AM3+ for example. Motherboards with the AM2 / AM3+ socket can house processors from the Phenom and FX-X family of AMD processors. It is very important that you make sure the socket type on your motherboard and processor match if you are considering doing an upgrade-- Different socket types aren't compatible!
LGA 775 processors are supported by LGS 775 sockets. Most, if not all, Intel processors are LGA 775, and almost no, if any, AMD processors are LGA 775. At www.newegg.com look up your processor and check the specifications to see what socket type it is.
