There are many different slots and sockets for CPUs, the slots correspond with processor types and with processor manufacturers. Newer sockets, those with a three digit number, are named after the number of pins they contain, where as older ones are named in the order of their invention or generation and usually contain a single digit. Sockets supporting Intel CPUs Socket 1 - 80486SX, 80486DX, 80486DX2, 80486DX4 Socket 2 - 80486SX, 80486DX, 80486DX2, 80486DX4 Socket 3 - 80486SX, 80486DX, 80486DX2, 80486DX4 Socket 4 and 5 - early Intel Pentium processors Socket 6 - 80486DX4 Socket 7 - Intel Pentium and Pentium MMX Socket 8 - Intel Pentium Pro Slot 1 - Intel Pentium II, older Pentium III, and Celeron processors (233 MHz - 1.13 GHz) Slot 2 - Intel Xeon processors based on Pentium II/III cores Socket 370 - newer Pentium III and Celeron processors (800 MHz - 1.4 GHz) Socket 423 - Pentium 4 and Celeron processors (based on the Willamette core) Socket 478 - Intel Pentium 4 and Celeron processors Socket 603/604 - Intel Xeon processors Socket 755 - Intel Pentium 4 and Celeron processors Sockets supporting AMD CPUs Socket 7 - AMD 80486, K5, and K6 processors SuperSocket7 - AMD K6, K6-2, and K6-3 processors Slot A - older AMD Athlon and Duron processors Socket 462 (or Socket A) - newer AMD Athlon, Athlon XP, and Duron processors Socket 754 - lower end AMD Athlon 64 with single-channel memory support Socket 939 - AMD Athlon 64 and AMD Athlon FX with dual-channel memory support Socket 940 - AMD Opteron and early AMD Athlon FX processors

Processor
A 'processor' is an original processor from its original manufacturer. A 'processor upgrade' is not sold by the original manufacturer but from a computer (system) manufacturer. Most upgrade processors are meant only for a certain model and will state what that is in the product data.
There are two main manufacturers competing in the home processor market, AMD and Intel. Both these chip designs can run on the same operating systems, run the same software and the same peripherals, although they will require different motherboards and possibly run with different memory. Also there are now 'mobile' processors that are designed to run on laptops and other mobile computing systems. These processors are designed to run cooler than normal chips and therefore increase battery life.
Also called clock rate, this is the speed at which a microprocessor executes instructions. The clock speed of a processor is useful for providing comparisons between processor chips from the same processor family.
Processor Instruction Set
Intel MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3
Memory
Level 1 cache (or primary cache) - a memory bank built into the CPU chip or packaged within the same module as the chip. An L1 cache is the fastest memory in the computer, and it is closest to the CPU.
Other Features
Included Devices
Cooling Fan, Heat Sink
The processor's platform determines what type of machine and operating system it will be able to run. Processors are not cross compatible and need to be matched with the appropriate components to function properly.
