Chip is not socketed ;) Moreover, it is soldered.
De-solder the chip, and put a socket on it. Richard Smith helped me out with that, we now have one m57sli-s4 board with a socket instead of the soldered-on chip. Requires quite a bit of skill and some good equipment though (heat-pencil or heat-gun and a good soldering iron).
