George,
1. yes
2. the reason intel switched from PGA (pin grid array) to FC-PGA (flip chip
pin grid array) is because they moved down to a thinner die size ( .18
micron) and "flipped" the die over onto the top of the chip, instead of
underneath like the old ones. This moves the die closer to the Heat Sink and
transfers heat better, thus it runs cooler even at faster speeds.... kinda
neat, huh?
3. not too sure about backward compatability, though i think the newest
FCPGA are not compatible with older socket370 mobos.... may have to check
around....

Hope that helps some....    T.
