No, ZIF means Zero Insertion Force - it applies to all modern CPU sockets. you need to have a mobo that
1) supports the correct socket for the CPU (e.g. Socket A, Socket 754, Socket 939, etc...)
2) supports the CPU in question (problems arise with FSB frequency, dual core, etc..., but BIOS flashes may be provide additional support)
