Thank you for sharing your experiences!

FWIW, I'll probably go with AMD pin-sockets from here on out. I'm
just not that wild about Land Grid Arrays now.

(It was a brand new Gigabyte MB, fresh out of the box;- I'd already
found and purchased that Dual Core Pentium on Ebay. There's a plastic
insert MB manufacturers use to protect the LGA female pins, which was
wedged into the socket for some force required, by some unknown
proceedure to remove, whereupon I bent actually several of the CPU
pins in getting it out. My brand new MB then would not boot. Imagine
that, not the after-thought when I eventually concluded I'd have to
fix it myself;- sending it back to the vendor with bent pins obviously
wasn't going to hold water.)
