Would you mind explaining to me why in the second link, it says that its a LGA1156 socket, but supports i5 and i7? I though the i7 used the LGA13something socket :S _________________

It's because Core i7 comes in 2 types of sockets.
There's the 1366 version of the Core i7 (BloomField)
and the 1156 version (Lynnfield).
1156 Core i7 are 800 series
1366 Core i7 are 900 series
