Hmmmm....As far as I know, the ones with the extra pins are designed for overdrive sockets, 
whereas another version is available which can go into an ordinary processor socket (it has a 
built in voltage regulator, stepping it down from 5v to 3.3v on motherboards which do not support 
3.3v speeds)
