these questions are too deep for a mere posting here...

May I recommend you go to the nearest "75% Off Books" and buy a $5.00 copy of Mark Minasi's book on upgrading and repairing PCs?

Your questions are answered across about 20 pages...

I may be wrong but i will guess. Part of it has to do with competition. While intel was still using the socket 7 type board, a few competitors could also use the same board. Intel then went with slot 1 style. No more competition on the same mother boards. However the slot 1 was limited in the speed of which it could go to. Intel tehn decided to go to the socketed 370. this style could allow for faster speeds. If you notice the P4 is also a socket processor. I think future Processors will also be the same. this is just my opinion and I could be wrong. James Collins
