There are some sweet looking blocks for Socket A, like the
OCWC polyblocks, but will it be possible to adapt them to fit on other socket designs in the future? I only bring this up because of the dimensions of the polyblocks and other socket A blocks. They are 3-inches wide, and extend over the edges of the socket, making it almost impossible to fasten them using the ears on the socket. You are forced to use the 4 mounting holes, which are standard on socket A boards, but who knows if they'll be standard on boards in the future?
Can anyone see a way that a polyblock could be adapted to fit on a board that doesn't have mounting holes around the socket?
And yes, I realize that this may be a moot point, because socket A could be around for a long time, but I'd still like to contemplate this possibility
