Slot 1 refers to the physical and electrical specification for the connector used by some of Intel's microprocessors, including the Celeron, Pentium II and the Pentium III. Both single and dual processor configurations were implemented.
Slot 1 was a departure from the square ZIF PGA/SPGA sockets used for the Pentium and earlier processors. Instead, the processor is mounted on a Single Edge Connector Cartridge (SECC), much like a PCI slot, but with a 242-lead edge-connector.
The Slot 1 specification allows for higher bus rates than Socket 7. Slot 1 motherboards use the GTL+ bus protocol.
Jokingly, the internet and mainly the technical community have likened the appearance of the processor and slot to the old Sega Megadrive and N64 cartridge systems.
