OC Workbench has taken a look at the newest from PowerLeap, the PL-iP3/T Slot-1 adapter.

This tricky card lets you use Coppermine and Tualatin P3s and Celerons in Slot-1 boards, and better yet, Tualatin SMP.

While there are few old BX boards that will even boot at 133FSB, this could be a boon for those Tiger133 owners wanting to get a little more life out of their boards.

#13047 Posted on: 01/02/2002 05:32 PM Doesnt it state on the Tyan website FAQ for the Tiger133 that the board will not handle any socket adapters? Or aint that true, as is often the case?

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

#13048 Posted on: 01/02/2002 06:46 PM Yupp on tyan's site they say that the tiger133 mobo doesn't "support" slot1 adapters! so i tested 1 PIII 600 @ 133 with a slot1 adapter on my tyan tiger133 mobo and it ran just fine! don't know if will work with 2 slot1 adapters, but if it worked with one cpu and it's designed to handle 2, it shoudl work just fine too? anyone who wanna confirm this?

#13049 Posted on: 01/02/2002 10:11 PM Most slot boards either say they don't support, or say nothing at all. These would enable a Tiger 133, for example, to run Tualatins and get a few more months/years out of a board instead of upgrading to a Tualatin capable board or an AMD solution. A couple Apple products and a bizarre ASUS S479 box.

#13050 Posted on: 01/02/2002 11:54 PM *ponder* hmm.. gets more interesting... Go for that dual AMD, or invest in a pair of tualatins... seeing as I already have a Tiger133..... Question is... do the 1.2 Tualatin Celerons run in SMP or not... Most ppl say no, but theres 1 or 2 reports/rumors floating around that says they do.... Joker Edit: though... the Tiger133 is VIA chipset based.. would the adapter even work on it then? seeing as its developed for old BX boards`?
