Buckwheat - Re: "what were the "obvious technical short comings" of socket 8 that compelled Intel to develope the superior slot 1 design?" Allow me> The Socket 8 is actually an excellent interface - GTL+ electrical interface, on board full speed L2 cache. It is VERY EXPENSIVE, however - and that is why Intel switched to a Slot 1 interface. It allows the use of standard, lower cost, slower L2 cache (one half the CPU speed) with some trade off in performance. The Socket 8 and Slot 1 have essentially identical transaction-based I/O specs.
