multi-socket image

Learners might not know what a CPU "socket" is -- unless you've built a computer from parts, there's no need to know what's under the heat sink/fan; and if you've only ever had a laptop, tablet, or smartphone, it's all a sleek monolith.

It would help convey the idea to include images of a single-, dual-, and quad-socket motherboard in the lesson material for discussion. When we return to in-person workshops, old motherboards make great props!

(This may fall under "too deep in the weeds" territory, but the concept of sockets was raised by learners in the HEIBRiDS workshop.)

I completely agree.
