I miss old PGA CPUs like that. They'd inevitably get bent, and you could almost always use the tip of a mechanical pencil (with the lead removed) to bend things back into almost exactly the right place and boot the machine. Nowadays everything is LGA and if you bend one of the tiny in-socket pins you're just sunk.
- khedoros1 10y agoI liked clicking down the locking arm. It made a satisfying click, after an equally-satisfying increase in tension. A lot of the LGA ones now make a sickly-sounding "crinkle" that I've never liked much.
- theandrewbailey 10y agoAMD is still old school and uses PGA sockets, at least for their desktop parts. I wish they would get with the program (they have for their server CPUs).
