I missed this one over the weekend at the end of last week, but saw it today when someone e-mailed asking if I had it yet. I don't have it, but looks pretty nifty!

Now mobo makers wont have to junk any boards just because the pins are beyond repair!

Here is the take home message for our readers:Sun King Technology (SKT) a Taiwan CPU socket designer and manufacturer for over 10 years announced a new LGA775 socket design on March 15 for use with Intel CPUs.
The newly developed LGA775 socket has patented terminals and built-in retractable spring cover that provides complete bent-pin protection for the P5 CPU architecture. The four-screw metal supporting bracket mounted on the reverse side of PC board can resolve the existing board bending (bowing) issue during the board design phase, and assure accurate pressure contact and alignment to the circuit pad directly, while the CPU is driven into the “ lock ” position by the lever loading mechanism.
In addition, the new LGA775 socket design focuses on overcoming existing bent-pin issues, which will help to answer the return materials authorization (RMA) issues among PC makers. The maintenance free main body housing is fully replaceable by PC service centers.
