Perhaps you were thinking of the LGA 775?


Ok, but neither is 1156 defunct which is what I was responding to. I wasn't sure what Intel's plans were for 1366 and thought maybe they were phasing them out and going to some new socket once again for the 6 core CPUs.

The price of doing the same old thing is far higher than the price of change.
