Inquiring minds want to know. If you've not seen one, here's a link to a
good forum photo:

The pins are on the mb socket rather than the CPU, so any damages fall on
the mb maker The socket pins reportedly begin to bend after only a "few"
CPU changes or reseats. Not good.

Since Intel announced they're killing the "Tejas" CPU in favor of dual-core
CPUs, I'm wondering if the Socket T will be tossed out as well:

Intel has a heat problem or an impressive deep-fryer.

Anyone know if the socket-T form factor is dead?

Apparently not. Look for the LGA 775 chip soon in a desktop near you:
