Slot 1

From Free net encyclopedia

Slot 1 refers to the physical and electrical specification for the connector used by some of Intel's microprocessors, including the Celeron, Pentium II and the Pentium III.

Slot 1 was a departure from the square ZIF PGA/SPGA sockets used for the Pentium and earlier processors. Instead, the processor is mounted on a Single Edge Connector Cartridge (SECC), much like a PCI slot, but with a 242-lead edge-connector.

The Slot 1 specification allows for higher bus rates than Socket 7. Slot 1 motherboards use the GTL+ bus protocol.
