Always hold a socket 775 processor by the edges so your fingers
do not touch the delicate gold pads. This prevents accidental
shorting out of the CPU with static electricity. Do Not Touch or drop
anything on the LAG775 array of contacts that are located on the motherboard.
It is extremely important that the processor be installed slowly,
carefully and vertically into the socket, and removed the same way, any
other handling will damage the pins and leave a useless motherboard.
