Okay, now I see. You can solder it directly to the board :-)

For some reason, I thought you had to use a socket.

You don't have to, but it's the smart thing to do. One advantage is the
ability to revert back to the old chip. Another is that you do not have to
apply heat to the new chip to install it 'cuz you applied the heat to the
socket instead.
