Hi is there a difference between a black CPU socket and a white CPU socket on a XPS L502X 714WC mother board?

ianarlidge,
If a new CPU with the extra pin is released, then it will only be compatible with the black socket (AM3b). Why would one buy a white socket motherboard over the newer black socket? Most AMD motherboards now have the black socket along with a newer chipset.

let me get this right. the black socket board will fit Intel Socket G2 (rPGA988B) cpu's and is newer than the white one?

I'm not sure the answer is germane to the L502x -- which is Intel-based, not AMD.

So some of the L502x 714wc boards are AMD and some are intel?

No. ALL L502x systems use Intel CPUs.
