Re: "
1) Is slot2 compatible with slot1?

2) If I buy a MB slot1 today can I use it to run slot2 CPU?

3) Is slot2 superior to slot1? "

4) Assuming if slot1 is not compatible with slot2 can I buy AN OVERDRIVE to upgrade my slot1 MB to slot2?

5) If slot2 is superior to slot1 why the hell do I want to by slot1 MB now?

6) Will Intel kill slot1 when slot3 available? Or will slot1, slot2, and slot3 coexist?

7) How about the Merced? What slot will it be? Can I use solt1 to run the Merced?

Again I assume your post is in jest, but just in case it isn't, here goes.

1 Slot2 is not compatable with Slot1. They are intended for different markets. Slot1 is for desktops and Slot2 is for highend WS's and servers. A Slot2 processor has fullspeed bsb L2, a feature that is not cost effective on the desktop.

2. No

3. You be the judge, based on your needs.

4. Not that I know of.

5. Because you can't justify ~$2500 for a 2meg L2 Zeon on your desktop.

6. Intel has not consulted me on that one but my guess is no.

7. Don't know and no.

Re: "I have too many questions and I am not sure which slot I should buy. I want a slot that has a long enough life so I don't have to spend a lot of money to upgrade."

Then you deffinalty DON'T want a socket7.
