Computer Hardware Terms, Glossary and Dictionary

LGA 775 (Land Grid Aray), also known as socket T, means that the pins are on the Motherboard, not the Processor. The Prescott is using the LGA 775 socket. Intel changed from Socket 478 to LGA 775 because Intel plans to offer a Front side bus of 1066 MHZs. The 'T' in Socket T is derived from the Tejas core which was going to replace the Prescott. Tejas is no longer a replacement.
