SOCKET A or SOCKET 642

[24747comper]

Is there a difference?

[_Mystical_Night]

Socket A has 462 pins so socket 642 has 180 more pins

and more pins = more speed

I think you meant socket 462. Socket A and 462 are the same thing.

Yes, there is no Socket 642.

Socket 7 = 321 pins
Socket 370 = Pentium 3's and Celerons
Socket 423 = older Pentium 4's
Socket A = 462 pins (Athlons & Durons)
Socket 478 = newer Pentium 4's (also P4-based Celerons)
Socket 603 = P4-based Xeons
Socket 754 = Athlon 64
Socket 940 = Opteron
