Thank you lostinlodos. Even though the last one came from a network switch, it can still be satisfied as a small socket board? Sorry for the noobie questions, just trying to get my bearings straight because I have a ton of different boards as seen in my post from a couple of days ago and this will make sorting a nightmare.
Peripheral and small socket are currently the same and have been for some time. So separation is not necessarily at the moment. It's more of a down the line comment.
For a board with a soldered CPU to be small socket and not peripheral (why game machine boards do NOT qualify)
Must have a cpu, bridge chip, I/O controller, multiple external I/o ports and ram and/or expansion slots.
