The picture seems to show the processor upside down in the bracket, although it shows the new "pin" design, those looking at it as a reference will be installing their processor upsidedown and might damage it. I don't know if this is a concern, but I thought I'd mention it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.87.169.75 ( talk • contribs) 12:44, April 20, 2007
Any clue, when Socket 775 was first implemented? Iodine Galaxy 08:23, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Can someone please write this into the article
Needs some citations. Lotsa unsourced comments flying around there. ---Ransom (-- 71.4.51.150 00:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC))
"Socket T, also known as LGA 775, is Intel's latest desktop CPU socket" - this statement should be changed to something that will hold true over time. Already I believe Socket M is newer. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.27.117.154 ( talk • contribs) 03:39, November 18, 2006 (UTC)
Socket 775 is the same as LGA775, isn't it? Please help! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Deeliz777 ( talk • contribs) 17:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC).
Actually, the correct name for this technology is LGA775, LGA 775, and ONLY LGA775. It's not a socket, it's a Land Grid Array. Stop calling it a socket, people! Socket T was what it was referred to BEFORE it was officially named LGA775. The "Socket" name no long applies. It's outdated. It's not what LGA is offcialy called. It's done. Finito. End of use. Full stop.-- 71.17.189.252 ( talk) 19:04, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
Can you use a new Core 2 Duo in a Pentium M Motherboard, since they are both the same socket? Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sbdarnell ( talk • contribs) 21:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC).
In my view, the article should be renamed to "LGA775" for the following reasons:

Yes, it's a Land Grid Array, not a socket. Re-name this article as LGA775, pronto. -- 71.17.189.252 ( talk) 19:04, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I made the rename a few days ago following these discussions. — ciphergoth 17:10, 15 September 2008 (UTC) you have a dinner — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.29.37.50 ( talk) 03:03, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
Who threw the weasel words template on? I don't see why it's needed. - 134.29.155.214 17:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I just read through this section and noticed it was horribly worded, and probably shouldn't not be in this particular article. The concern it makes is specific to Land grid array setup and not specifically Socket T. Both Socket T and Socket F are LGA sockets and not specific to Intel chips. I recommend removing the bent pin issue section entirely in this article as it bares no encyclopedic relevance to the specific socket. -- 142.59.19.129 18:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Can someone add this picture to the page? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:LGA_775.jpg. It shows the underside of a LGA 775 processor instead of the current picture which appears to have an upside down CPU improperly inserted into the motherboard. Can we use this picture along with a picture of a properly installed LGA 775 CPU (preferably one with the serial numbers visible)? -- 68.48.57.75 ( talk) 00:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't we mention here that this socket requires quite a bit of effort for installation? I was pretty much surprised by the force that was needed to lock the pushing lid of the processor in place, compared to the older ZIF designs, when I first installed it. I believe this could be useful. -- Khathi ( talk) 17:53, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree,I had to take a deep breath before installing my first chip in an LGA775.
As for the talk about bent pins being rare on pga chips,Ive seen dozens of them. Its not as common,but my impression has been that LGA775 is much less prone to problems. Its true however that bent pins in my experience only seem to occur on chips that are removed (often for upgrades) and stored improperly (of course,by definition proper storage prevents damage,and anything else is improper). Ive yet to see a LGA771 motherboard with a damaged socket. To put it in perspective,Socket 478 broke retainers left and right,and socket 370 and earlier were just horrible (little plastic tabs broke off the socket,also shared with many amd sockets) and I wont even go into the pre-zif sockets. 40 Pin dip anyone? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.201.150.94 ( talk) 15:02, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
LGA775 has been around for a long time (since the Pentium 4 Prescott). When will Intel phase out CPUs for the LGA775 for good (thus effectively phasing out LGA775)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.156.10.11 ( talk) 14:22, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
LGA is essentially LCC in a larger size with a lot more contacts. Long time PC techs experience with LCC was mostly with the 80286 CPUs in such a package. The CPUs clamp down the same way, but the heatsink for the 80286 was part of the clamp. I only ever saw 12Mhz and faster 286 CPUs in LCC, the heatsink really wasn't needed, the CPUs never got the least bit warm. Bizzybody ( talk) 10:44, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
