What is a FC-PGA socket?
It is a type of array to fit into an intel Socket 370 or Socket 478 CPU socket.
Will a Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 fit in the same socket as a Celeron 900?
Yes, both fit in the PGA 478 socket. SeanHolshouser
When buying a motherboardthe CPU needs to be compatibleexplain?
Each motherboard possesses certain socket type, for instance, from Intel LGA 771, LGA 775, Socket 478, 604, Socket M and P, for AMD Socket 754, 939, 940, AM2, AM2+, Socket F and socket S1. Thus, when you are going to buy a motherboard you have to have or buy a CPU with the same type of socket. A CPU with one type of socket will not fit another type of socket!
What are CPU socket types?
They are basically formats for which CPU format will fit into what board. For example, any core 2 duo processor from Intel is probably an LGA 775 and will fit into LGA 775 socket motherboard. Any Core i7 processor will fit into any LGA 1366 socket motherboard. The list goes on.
Will a processor chip from a PGA479M socket fit in a PGA478M socket?
Yes, dependent on CPU...I have just put a Core2Duo from a PGA478m into a PGA479m board, and the Celeron that was in the 479 into the 478. Both laptops run fine.
What kind of motherboard does the Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Dual-Core Processor fit in?

Will an Intel Pentium 4 work in an LGA775 socket?
Will a Socket 478 Pentium 4 fit in an LGA775 socket?No. The pinout is totally different. Technically, LGA775 is not even a socket. The LGA775 actually has the pins sticking UP, and the processor is flat.Will an LGA775 Pentium 4 work in an LGA775 socket?Yes. However, support for Pentium 4s was discontinued in the P35 and later chipsets.Are there adapters to fit a Socket 478 Pentium 4 into an LGA775 socket?Yes. These are expensive, though, making it much more worthwhile to purchase an LGA775 P4 in the first place.
IS There is no clear way to distinguish how a CPU will fit into a socket?
AMD and Intel processors tend to have a small arrow on one of the corners. Looking from the bottom you will see a missing pin. This corner fits into the part of the socket which often has a similar arrow and missing hole. That corner is usually at the place where the socket lever is.The CPU will only fit one way so you will know when it is correct.
What is a 462 chipset?
