You need to wait for a while, cause theres no dual t-birds yet...

Slot A is the standard for Classic Athlon and some of the TBirds. It is similar in shape to a Slot 1 for Pentium IIIs. I would recommend staying away from Slot A simply because it will quickly be obsolete.

The slot A is the big plastic thing, and socket A is the little square ceramic. All new AMD processors are socket A, so as Stool says don't bother getting slot A, there's no upgrade potential. Also the 1.2gig tbirds (in fact pretty much all the tbirds) are only available in socket A - and I have no idea when dual socket A boards are coming out.

There are dual AMD CPU mobos in development, and expected sometime this quarter.
