Chapter 1 System Specifications Overview All the new Socket-T motherboards come with a socket protector that has to be removed before you fit the CPU. This is to prevent damage to the pins inside the CPU socket before the chip is inserted. The new CPU socket is known as Socket-T and the new processors will be of LGA775 type. LGA stands forLand Grid Array and means that there are no pins on the bottom of the CPU, although there are still contact surfaces - no less 775 of them. The CPU interface has been moved to the motherboard socket and this is a way for Intel to get fewer returns in terms of damaged CPUs due to bent or broken pins. Aspire T600/AcerPower FV are versatile, high-power system, supporting Intel LGA775 CPUs. The computer uses Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) and Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) design.
