Chapter 1

Question 1

DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module)

Answer 1

SDR SDRAM: 168

DDR: 184 pin

DDR2: 240 pin

DDR3: 240 pin

Question 2

SODIMM

Answer 2

72 or 100 Pin: 32-bit

SDR SDRAM: 144 pin

DDR/DDR2: 200 pin

DDR3: 204 pin

SDR and DDR are 64bit

Question 3

LGA 775 (Socket T)

Answer 3

Intel only: Pentium 4, Pentium 4 Extreme Edition (single core), Pentium D, Celeron D, Pentium Extreme Edition (dual core), Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad, Xeon, Celeron (4xx, Exxxx series).

Question 4

LGA 1156 (Socket H)

Answer 4

Intel only: Celeron (G1xxx series), Core i3, Core i5, Core i7 (8xx series), Pentium (G6xxx series), Xeon (34xx series).

Question 5

LGA 1155 (Socket H2)

Answer 5

Intel only: Replacement for LGA 1156 to support CPUs based on the Sandy Bridge (such as Celeron G4xx and G5xx) and eventual Ivy Bridge architectures.

Question 6

LGA 1150 (Socket H3)

Answer 6

Replacement for LGA 1155 to support the Haswell and Broadwell processors, which rely on x8x and x9x desktop chipsets and C22x single-Xeon server chipsets.

Question 7

LGA 1366 (Socket B)

Answer 7

Intel only: Core i7 (9xx series), Xeon (35xx, 36xx, 55xx, 56xx series), Intel Celeron P1053.

Question 8

LGA 2011 (Socket R)

Answer 8

Replacement for LGA 1366.

Original LGA 2011-0 socket is used for Sandy Bridge-E (desktop Core i7-38xx, -39xx) and -EP (Xeon E5) as well as Ivy Bridge-E (desktop Core i7-48xx and -49xx) and -EP processors (Xeon E5 v2).

LGA 2011-1 is used for Ivy Bridge-EX (Xeon E7 v2) CPUs.

LGA 2011-v3 socket is used for Haswell-E (desktop, X99 chipset) and Haswell-EP (Xeon E5 v3) CPUs, supporting DDR4 memory.

The three sockets are not electrically compatible.

Question 9

Socket AM3

Answer 9

AMD only: DDR3 capable CPUs only (thus not compatible with AM2+ CPUs), such as Phenom II, Athlon II, Sempron, Opteron 138x, and has the potential to accept AM3+ CPUs.

Question 10

Socket AM3+

Answer 10

AMD only: Specified for CPUs based on the Bulldozer microarchitecture and designed to accept AM3 CPUs.

Question 11

Socket FM1

Answer 11

AMD only: Designed to accept AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Units (APUs), for desktops, which incorporate CPUs and GPUs, such as early A Series APUs.

Question 12

Socket FM2

Answer 12

AMD only: A 904-pin desktop socket for Trinity and Richland APUs

Question 13

Socket FM2+

Answer 13

AMD only: A 906-pin desktop socket for Steamroller-based APUs Kaveri and Godavari. Accepts chips that fit socket FM2 as well, but the converse is not also true.
