Slot 2 here we come. According to Intel Slot 1 and 2 will coexist
together, which I find hard to believe. Slot 2 will be soooo 
much cooler then the Slot 1 architexture and would appear
to have such major performance advantages it would be foolish
to go another way (once it's not too $$$ like it will be for
the first few months.. <g>).
