Subject: Dell PowerEdge 1850 CPU socket - mystery solved

After a bit of server disembowelment I finally have a definitive  
answer: Poweredge 1850 and 1950 have completely different CPU  
sockets. The 1850 uses a PGA socket with some unknown number of pins,  
and the 1950 uses an LGA (no pins). Nowhere in the Dell server docs  
have I found this documented! Hopefully this will help someone else  
that is wondering about this.
