LGA775 CPU's...

Re: LGA775 CPU's...

Still rockin with a pair of LGA775's here: E8500 and Celeron 430.

Interestingly enough here in my part of the world LGA775 are still featured as brand new budget builds and not used budget builds. It's mostly Celerons and Pentium Dual Cores though rarely the C2D E7xxx series.

LGA775 Mobos also still have high availability here. But it's mostly the g41 or g31 based. None of the P45 or P35 anymore.

In the used market, PGA478 is still alive....I still see socket 7 and socket 370 boards to recap on a regular basis... It just depends on the need.

embedded?

for embedded, 386 DOS boxes are still used... I went to a elecronics plant as a college field trip and the pick and place machine on the oldest line (used for small runs) was dos based, likely 386 or 486 based. maybe even 286 or older... at that plant, anything from win 98 to win 7 was typical...

775 will survive in the used market for a while... but for new builds, 1155 is the intel way to go...

Re: LGA775 CPU's...

As a budget biuld I ALWAYS use 1155. s775 boards and CPUs aren't even available here now.

Re: LGA775 CPU's...

LGA775 is going to be a thing of the past, just like Socket 478 when LGA775 first came out. LGA775 was still the socket of choice in budget builds up until around now with the Wolfdale Celerons and Pentiums, because the only budget CPU for the short-lived LGA1156 (one of the two sockets that was supposed to replace LGA775) was the Pentium G9650, which wasn't too popular.

Now that LGA1155 has some pretty potent Sandy Bridge Celerons and Pentiums that outperform the old budget Intel Wolfdale LGA775 processors, I believe that LGA1155 will soon take over from LGA775 on the budget side of things. Also, it will be interesting how the upcoming Ivy Bridge processors are, on LGA1155.

Re: LGA775 CPU's...

Another fun fact: My main PC (which I'm posting this from) still uses a LGA775, but with a BTX standard mobo.

Re: LGA775 CPU's...

775 is becoming a thing of the past.....like every socket before it. My first experience with a ZIF socket was the socket 3.......before that, it was cramming and praying you didn't rip the legs off the chips...

Yah, I kinda thought that too, TC. But many businesses that do spreadsheets still like the old 775, because its cheap and straightforward. In fact, NeweggBusiness.com still has 775 workstations
EDIT: businesses that do bland stuff like spreadsheets and letters, etc.

Re: LGA775 CPU's...

LGA 1155 seems to have problems with the pins frying because of poor contact. (Shame on you Intel.)

IIRC, you will see posts about that at Overclockers.com.

Do you think there still is any market room for computers with LGA775 processors? Such as a Pentium or Celeron dualcore. I haven't seen many with a C2D or C2Q for a while. So, what do you think?
