This sounds like a Processor question. Perhaps delving with how many pins are in the processor socket, on the motherboard.
Also how many transistors are in the processor.
There are presently two styles of mating up a processor in a processor socket.
1.The processor has the pins, and the processor socket on the motherboard has the holes, (Socket holes)
2.The processor socket has the pins, while the processor has the socket holes.
Your question looks like it deals with the style whereby the processor socket on the motherboard, has the pins.
Here is information about the various processor sockets, and also slots, plus information about the various processors.
Processor Sockets and Slots
A.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_socket
In the ->List of Sockets and Slots chart, in the column on the left side, you will see Socket's named, as well as Slots. These are in blue. If you click on them you will be taken to a page that has more information on it.
Processors, (Microprocessors)
B.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_microprocessors
Again, you click on anything you see listed in blue, and it is a link that takes you to more information.
As you click on a link that has general information, you will also see other links in blue on the page, plus links at the bottom of the page. These will take you to more specific information about the processor you're looking at. There you will see,
1.How many transistors it has
2.What the Front Side Bus is. (Frequency Rate)
3.What Frequency Rate the processor operates at. (Slang is Speed)
4.What size the cache is in MB. (L2 cache. The L1 cache may be listed, as well as the L3 for the newer processors)
5.What the Voltage range is.
6.How many Amps the processor could use while operating at full capacity.
Plus a lot of other info.

To answer the question I would need the manufacturer of the Motherboard as well as the model of the MB. I actually believe that you want to know what you can do with this MB concerning what type of processor and memory you may purchase to use with this MB. To answer what I believe your question referred to I would need the same information. Most of your Manufacturers will print their name and the model # on the MB's topside.
