"What is he doing in the Intel Processors?"

Well, it's really quite simple.

My computer is kinda old.

People laugh at it, call it names. How do you think that makes me feel?

So I've decided to upgrade. Oh, and it's going to be a big one too! New board, new cpu, new video card; the works.

I guess it would be best to just put this out there "I am an AMD !!!!!!." That said, the numbers don't lie; Conroe is just too fast to ignore.

So, now that we've established all that, let's get to my question.

Does the LGA 775 socket lock the cpu into place permanently? Oh, what a moronic question, I know, but I've heard this from a couple unreliable sources, and it's a tad worrying. Google has been no help, which leads me to believe that they were just being jackarses, but I would like some confirmation.

Thanks for answering this silly question. ^.^

It is a silly question, but never the less needs an answer... ;)
The LGA 775 locks the CPU in place for as long as you need it...
You can "unlock" the CPU any time you want with no problem. The only issue I've heard of with this design, is that you should limit the number of times you lock and unclock CPU's in the socket as the pins may get worn out and start loosing contact with the CPU itself. Not sure if tha's been corrected, but either way, unless you are into testing CPU's and change them out on daily basis, you should'nt have an issue for as long as you own the mobo...
 
You can swap the CPU about 25 times before you begin to worry or you die of old age depending on which one comes first... ;)
 
You'll see once you get the board. I had never seen anything like it either, but it's pretty easy to figure out how it works.

I hope you are being sarcastic about the 25 times. Really... the thing about maxium uses of an LGA775 socket is BS. As long as you don't bend the pins there is ZERO damage done to the socket. Really... I've changed CPUs out on the same sockets well over a hundred times and have not had a single issue.
