the difference of a "garry" socket hole and a board hole?
I cannot agree with your affirmation...
The most immediate issue that leaps to mind is that when using sockets,
now you have twice as many things to plug into other things. Think about
it.
I think it depends on the quality of the components
and construction. I've worked on a lot of military gear
that was fabricated out of wirewrapped panels -- one
such instrument had 18"x70" hinged panels with everything
socketed (except the bypass caps).
OTOH, some SIMM sockets are rated for a whopping *6* insertions!
think about that next time you're pulling memory! :< )
