The Socket 370 only support Intel chips (and only Celeron) at this time. It
is similar in layout to the Socket 7, but is different. I think it's Intel's
attempt to discourage competetion. The Socket 7 and Super 7, are essentially
the same socket--but the "Super" boards provide support for 100 MHz Front
Side Bus(necessary for newer AMD K6-2 and K6-3 chips,)as well as AGP
support.
