Yes. In fact, there exist SLOT-1 processors up to 1GHz.

Are you sure that such processors exists? I thought that up to 500 Mhz intel

Would like to exchange the following:
1. TWO 500MHz PIII (matching revisions) - SLOT-1
2. ONE 550MHz PIII - SLOT-1
3. ONE 667MHz PIII - SLOT-1
4. ONE 466MHz Celeron - Socket 370 + Intel desktop MB
