Question about the new pentium processors

[Rut]

It's my understanding that the 865PE chipset (Asus P4P800) will work
with the new Pentium "E" processors as well as the "C" processors. I
was under the assumption that there would be a different socket for
the newer chip??

Any info?

THanks,

From what I have heard the first ones will fit the 478 pin MB's. Similar to
when the PIII's first came out made to fit the slot 1 PII motherboards, then
changed to 370 pin boards....

Does anyone know if the new socket will require a new motherboard
chipset or will we possibly still be able to use the current chipset
with a cpu adapter board?
