I need some layman's help understanding the difference between "slot 1" and "socket 7." From what I can gather, this is technology that attaches the processor to the motherboard. It really does not change how the processor works, it only functions as a conduit for
sending instructions to other components of the PC.

Frankly, it does not appear that it is anywhere near as complicated to design as a processor. It would seem to me that someone could build an adapter that would allow a processor to attach to either "slot 1" or "socket 7." Then which ever way the market moved their technology could follow.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.

Thanks,
Darrell Conrade
