Its made by a brand named MERCURYDepends on the motherboard make/model. Can you tell us what it is?
On a related note, if you're looking to get as much speed as you can out of this socket, the i5-680 is a really great upgrade. I have several of these and am about to upgrade another i3-540 to an i5-680. It's a serious kick in the pants:

What do you mean by this?I disagree about the i5 sure it will be better than an i3 but for not much more you can get an i7 860 and have more threads to play with
SamirD recommended to get an i5 and I recommend an i7 because you can get them for so cheap anyways so might as well get 4 extra threadsWhat do you mean by this?
