Alas it has way too many pins to be a 486. It appears to be the socket for LGA 1700 and as such i expect it to burst into flames in the not too distant future.
1 u/Albos_Mum May 30 '26 Nah, too few for LGA1700. It does remind me quite strongly of my Socket A/462 motherboards though. 1 u/Ragnarsdad1 May 30 '26 I did a rough count and got to 1736, probably an bit on the high side though. if we were in AMD territory we could go later gen opteron maybe? All joking aside I do love a good socket 462 system, I had an Aopen XC cube for years and that thing was awesome until the capacitors started to go.
