Socket A is 462 pins, Socket 754, obviously 754 pins. the 754 came out after Socket A. I think there were a few motherboards, like ASRock, that were crossover capable with some sort of adapter, but I can say I never physically saw one. That's as close as they came to "the same motherboard".This is probablya dumb question, but...... I see "Socket A" and "Socket 754" processors advertised together, in the same list, as if they are interchangeable. Are they? Can I put a Socket 754 processor into a Socket A motherboard? Thanks,

Yeah, there not interchangeable, socket A has 453 pins and socket 754 has, well, 754.
no you cant they have a different number of pins under the cpus and on the motherboards
they also use different technologies like 754 uses hypertransport and socket A is very old and use conventional FSB system
You can try the following adapter tool, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
Gee, this thread has turned out to be great fun . Dead weight hammer, clippers, chissels......by the way, does anyone have a line on a blow torch and solder for the extra pins?
OK, so where do I get one of them adapters???? Thanks everyone, I was right, it was a dumb question!!

Holy sh!t; what a laughter.....You can try the following adapter tool, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
