Dual Coppermines and a BP6 (Maybe?)
Posted by: Micah on: 02/01/2000 08:54 PM [ Print | 6 comment(s) ]
I just noticed this one over at the HardOCP. I know a bunch of you probably sent me this link this morning, but I just sat down at my machine and this was the first place I saw it :-) Anyway... It looks like the fellas over at PowerLeap have come through with the first FC-PGA to S370 adapter the PL-S370. It remains to be seen whether or not this thing will enable dual processor capabilities or not (Can you say BP6?), but it is definately a step in the right direction!
The PowerLeap PL-S370 is a cost-effective FC-PGA to PPGA converter that allows you to install an Intel Pentium III "Coppermine" or Cyrix (VIA) "Joshua" CPU (in the FC-PGA package) into a Socket 370 computer designed for an Intel Celeron CPU.
Although the FC-PGA and Celeron CPUs are designed for Socket 370, there are differences in the pin definitions and voltage requirements for these CPUs. For this reason, an FC-PGA CPU will not run when directly inserted in the processor socket of a motherboard designed for the Celeron. The PL-S370 adapts the pin signals of FC-PGA CPUs so that they can run on motherboards with the PPGA form factor.

The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work.This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look. |

The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us. As you |
