There is no good way to test a CPU without putting it onto a compatible motherboard.
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
No, you cannot directly use an AMD S1G2 socket CPU in an S1G1 socket. The S1G2 socket is designed for a different generation of processors, and the pin configurations and electrical specifications may not be compatible. Always ensure that the CPU and motherboard socket are compatible to avoid damage and ensure proper functionality.
No, it will definitely not fit. If you have an AM3+ CPU like for example an FX-8150 or an FX-6100, a Phenom X4 or even an AMD Athlon II X2, you have to use an AM3+ socket, or in the case of the Athlon II X2, or X3, or X4, or the Phenom family of CPU's you can use AM3+'s predecessor: the AM3, as well as the AM3+. However, the 939 is a much older socket which is not compatible with most modern day AMD CPU's.
Yes it can, I have one in my Gateway and it came with a Amd Athlon X2 64 4200+ CPU, it wont support AM2 or AM3 chips though,
The most popular entry level SMP systems use the x86 instruction set architecture and are based on Intel's Xeon, Pentium D, Core Duo & Core 2 Duo based processors and AMD's athlon64 X2, Quad FX or Opteron 200 & 2000 Series.
The choice between an Intel or AMD CPU depends on the type of computer and the intended purpose. Intel CPUs are for instance believed to perform better than AMDs in graphics-intensive applications.
It is a CPU, designed for use in socket 7 motherboards. It was designed to be competition to the Intel pentuim/pentuim MMX range of CPUs.
