PC - M'board Socket - (P2/P3/Xeon/Celeron)





Motherboard socket types. This page for the early Slot-1 boards/chips (the video shaped Pentium cpu housing), for Pentium 2 & early Celeron & Pentium 3 up to 1.13 ghz, and Pentium Zeon on Slot-2.


There are so many different processors, and they all fit different motherboard type connectors... I for one get tired trawling round the www trying to put it all in order mentally, so i spent the whole day collecting data to make a list... Not definitive, but includes most of the processors we would use for digital audio, and a few oldies we won't probably use much anymore.

All this page is for is so that you can checkout a chip speed and what type of board connector it takes, and for newbies to show them the different socket TYPES and the chips that go with them.

For us PC-Audio people it all starts with the MMX pentium in the olde days... and from there we've had SLOT-1 for P2 & Celeron and AMD came with the SLOT-A for their early Athlon's... The SLOT-A looks like the SLOT-1, and is 'the SLOT-1 for Athlons'...

On both types (Intel slot-1 & AMD slot-a), the CPU sits on a board enclosed in a case with cooler, that looks like a video cassette... Intel pushed the 'Slot-1' & P2 & older P3 aside and went to the New P3 & Celerons on SOCKET 370 (a ZIF socket), easy to install chips into.... the AMD K7 Athlon & Duron moved to the Socket-A. - Now we are on the next gen of P4 & Athlon... up to and above 2ghz.... we have the Athlon & Duron on SOCKET-A and the P-4 on SOCKET-423 & SOCKET-478.


This page is for the Slot-1 chips.. Pentium 2 & Celeron & Pentium 3 up to 1.13ghz... also the Pentium Zeon on Slot-2.



Slot I:





Intel Pentium II, Pentium III.

Developed by Intel to replace their Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets. Using Slot 1, the CPU is packaged in a 242-contact Single-Edge Contact Cartridge. The cartridge may contain up to two CPUs and an L2 cache. Intel's Pentium II, Pentium III, and some Celeron processors use the Slot 1 configuration.

Slot II:

Intel Pentium II Zeon, Pentium III Xeon.

Essentially a 330-contact version of SLot 1. The Slot 2 cartridge may house as many as four processors and an L2 cache. Intel's Xeon processor uses Slot 2.
