Hi,
Can someone please explain the real basics about sockets/chipsets, I understand that you need a certain socket to fit your cpu your using but if I look on the OC site at motherboards it lists 5 or so different chipsets for AMD and then under Intel it list 9 or so different chipsets. Is chipset and socket the same thing ?
