processors are a bitch to install. The old socket 7 boards have little plastic pegs that will snap during heatsink installation, should you exert too much effort at the wrong angles. And you've got a pretty useless board at that point, unless you have the skill to remove the plastic seat itself from the mother board and replace it. Just a tiny little plastic peg, serves no other purpose but to hold the heatsink in place is enough to make the entire motherboard useless.
The new pushpin heatsink designs are a little bit safer, but not so much. It's still a bitch to install and if you have HULK SMASH moments of frustration like me, you can crack the PCB itself while installing the darn bastards.
