I know that PIII used to use a slot 1 connection and then they combined the
L2 cache directly on to the die and start to use the socket 370 connection.
But then they went to a FC-PGA connection and changed the processors around
so that if I tried to place a socket 370 cpu into a FC-PGA it would not work
and maybe harm the cpu or motherboard. My question is this
1 Did PIII cpu's that connected to the socket 370 really have L2 cache on
board the cpu?
2 If so then what was the reason that they switched over to a FC-PGA
3 Is there any backwards compatibility. Can I take a FC-PGA cpu and use it
on a socket 370 motherboard.
Thanks
George
