Slot 1, Socket 7, etc. Anyone know the diff?

[Brangwen]

This may seem incredibly obvious to many of you, but I'm a bit confused and my research at computer terminology definition sites has not paid off very well. I'm searching out a Slot One PIII 600E, and I see retailers selling: socket7/370? SECC2; SECC1; and Slot 1! What gives? Understandably, I don't want to purchase the wrong chip. I know 370 is 370 pin, and I understand Slot 1, I think ... Can someone explain concisely what these different forms are? Thx!

Well here's the secc2 and a few pics. It discusses what it is and other stuff.

..heres a small tidbit

Socket 7 receives Socket 7 CPU's, which are Pentiums, K6-2's and K6-3's, along with just about everything between 486 and Pentium Pro.

Slot 1 Recieves SEPP, SECC and SECC2 CPU's. These include some early celerons, all PentiumII, and all early PentiumIII(Katmai 512k L2)'s and some Coppermine ones as well.

Socket 370 accepts PPGA processors, and some new Socket 370 accept FCPGA processors as well. PPGA processors are all the early Celerons that werent Slot 1. FCPGA are the 'Celeron II's' and all PentiumIII's that arent Slot 1.

Alot ta swallow all at once, but theres the facts.
