1: is the second socket there?

Its a bit of a red herring! I cannot answer the questions specifically we will have to wait till someone buys one but the saving is only £320 and it will cost you TWO to THREE TIMES that to buy the 2.8GHz four core processor to stick in there later! (even if you can). If is £540 for a 3.0GHz DUAL core at the moment and that is last generations processor!

1: More than likely Yes.

2: More than likely No.

3: Yes, but at over $750 for the 2.8GHz it will end up costing $250 more than if you just got it in the first place. Considering the 3GHz chips are over $1000 EACH retail the extra 1300 for two of them isn't so bad either.
