Barebone Computer Systems Using the AMD Socket 754

What is a Socket 754?

    Socket 754 refers to the type and specifications for a socket (CPU holder) which will accept and correctly connect certain CPUs (Central Processing Unit) to a motherboard. The Socket A uses a ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) connection method. The CPU drops into the socket (only one way of course) and then a lever on the side of the socket locks it into place. You can see this in the picture below. The lever is on the right hand side of the socket.

What processors will the Socket 754 accept?

    Like the Socket A, the socket A generally accepts only AMD Athlon processors. These processors have 754 pins (hence Socket 754) which must fit into the socket so they can connect to the motherboard. Here are the basic specifications for the Socket A.
 

Socket 754
     754-pin ZIF
     .8 to 1.55 operational voltages
     Bus speeds of 200MHz (x2)
     Uses AMD Athlon 64 1Ghz Processors.

    Today's Socket 754 barebone systems are not as affordable as other barebone systems and barebone kits but do  make fast operating computers.
