Many years ago, I worked on a system full of chips in sockets and the associated reliability problems. Standard prototype stuff. One of the guys had a technician add some solder to the power/ground pins on every chip. Problem solved. I don't think power/ground was significant. They were just handy opposite corners to hold the chip securely in the socket so vibration and flex couldn't help it walk out. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
