Let me suggest you start here:
The PC Technology Guide's Motherboards page:
http://www.pctechguide.com/01mboards.htm
~~
A good second stop for you might be motherboards.org:
http://www.motherboards.org
~~
PC Guide has a good section on Processor Sockets and Slots
http://www.pcguide.com/ref/cpu/char/socket.htm
PC Guide also has a motherboard troubleshooting section:

This page will help you identify parts of a Motherboard
http://www.esc-ca.com/motherboards/components/identify.html
