My recent mobo purchase has come in, and the AM3 socket doesn't look like anything I've seen before (I've upgraded from an AM2, so maybe this is normal?).

It's a Lotes socket, here's a pic from their site.



It's kind of tough to see in this image, but around the center is a raised, rectangular ring, and even more difficult to see is that in the center of that ring is a raised square (about 6 or so pin holes wide).

I've never seen a socket that wasn't totally flat. My proc is arriving today so I don't have hardware to compare it to, but I'm worried the proc won't fit. Is this normal?

Hope I'm overreacting...
