Intel's LGA 775 socket explored

EVERYONE KNOWS that Intel's new Socket 775 (LGA775) simply sucks, after all, it has to, could 1,000 people on 100 message boards all be wrong? It is something new and different from Intel, who has none of our best interests at heart, it simply must be a conspiracy. It is fragile, expensive, and does nothing that the old socket would not do. If you look at it cross-eyed, or god forbid, put in a CPU for a fourth time, the board will simply catch fire. Nothing good comes from it, trust the friendly anonymous posters, none of which have an axe to grind, honestly.

Put away the tin foil hats people, it isn't any of the above
