Slightly cryptic title maybe?

I wanted to confirm with all you ATers the following:

Is there such a thing as an FC-PGA -> Slot 1 convertor?

If there is, is it possible to run for example a 133Mhz FSB processor at 100Mhz? (So presumably a 1Ghz CPU will run at 750Mhz?) Is the, for example as in this case a 7.5x FSB multiple for the processor, fixed inside the CPU package?

How about stuff like voltages? Any impact on a dual-processor system?

I hope you can see what I'm getting at - why I want to do the above is that I can't seem to buy any of the older 100Mhz FSB Pentium III's.

I wouldn't think so, since boards with sockets instead of slots are a few bucks cheaper to make, and that socket 370 is "a step" above slot processors. Im pretty sure some wacky unheard of company is making it though. Ive also seen Socket 8 -> Slot 1 converters.
