The PGA (pin grid array) is going to be square with a lot of pins sticking out of one side. The SEC (single edge chip) is going to be rectangular and is going to stick up out of your mobo.

I didn't really think that it was chip...but I couldn't think of anything else that would fit in there. My bad.
