Well I could be completely wrong then...I thought you had to buy the

socket
and solder that on the board. Then, push the chip in....as seen he

Hmm...if you do a good job, maybe I'll let you do mine. LOL!!

Yeah, that link shows the socket. But you remove the old chip, and in it's
place you put the socket and plug the new chip into it. This also means that
if you find that you need to put back the old chip, you can just unplug the
chipswitch and plug in the old one without having to do any soldering.

Putting in the socket does require you to desolder the old chip and solder
in the new socket though.

PS: previous message said 62 pin socket...I meant to say 64.
