My friend, who most of the time (note the word MOST) knows more about this stuff than I do, says that there will be a special slocket that will let an Itanium go in a Slot 1 motherboard. Having basic knowledge of computers, this idea would seem absolutely absurd-- a 64-bit CPU on a chipset designed for a 32-bit architecture.

I asked on [h]ardocp just to be sure and everyone thought I was crazy for asking..

So where's he getting this info from.. The Weekly Loony Bin?
