Stands for "Plastic Pin Grid Array" (not the Pretty People Golfer's Association)...
Plastic Pin Grid Array. The Package used for Celerons from 300a to 533. 566 and upwards use the FC-PGA
PPGA (plastic pin grid array) is a microchip design from Intel that has the silicon core of the microchip facing down toward the computer motherboard. The core is covered by a heat slug, which helps to dissipate the heat to the heatsink. The chip includes 370 pins that plug into a Socket 370 connector on the motherboard. The PPGA chip is less expensive to manufacture that the slot-based chip, which is why PPGA chips are used in sub-$1000 desktop computers.
Abbreviation for plastic pin grid array.
(Plastic Pin Grid Array) Also known as Socket 370. A socket found on motherboards designed for Intel's low-cost PGA Socket 370 Celeron processors. PGA Celerons can also be used in Slot 1 motherboards, with the addition of a Socket 370-to-Slot 1 adapter card, such as the Abit "Slotket."
The PPGA form factor, also referred to as socket 370, was created by Intel to offer a lower cost alternative to its Slot 1 packaging. It exemplified the...
This stands for Plastic Pin Grid Array. PPGA is the same as Socket 370 and is a relatively new CPU connection type. The CPUs are very similar to the Socet 7 CPUs, but they cannot be used in the same motherboards. Like the Socket 7 CPUs, they have pins at the bottom of a flat square CPU, and sit parallel to the surface of the motherboard.
