Actually, you have that backward. The original Athlon is a Slot-A (off die L2 cache) processor. The Duron as well as the current Thunderbird Athlon (Both have on-die L2 cache) are Socket A processors. All new Athlon's are socket processors. Check www.anandtech.com and www.tomshardware.com for more info.

The socket version is the older version, while the slot version is the current one. Alexander Skwar -- Homepage: http://www.digitalprojects.com | http://www.dp.ath.cx Sichere Mail?
