No. The 815 and 820 also supported Socket 370 as well as chipsets from ALi, SIS and VIA.

Sure. Anytime a new family of processor is released the previous family will still be available for some time. Look at the current state of affairs...the dual core processors are out (including Conroe) but you can still get single core P4s and build a system around it if you want to.
