S, the death of Socket 7 is highly exaggerated, with L2 cache internal to the processor chip, the raison de etre for Slot 1 is eliminated.

BTW, Anand's Hardware Tech Page anandtech.com says this (Nov 4):
Nevertheless, expect to see a few more Socket-7 chips from Intel in the near future.

He also says that Deschutes (the 0.25 process Pentium II) will only be available in SLOT2. Only the original 0.35 um Pentium II will be available in SLOT 1.

Oh well, throw out your motherboards again!
