anyone know a schematic for the Upgrade ware Socket370 to Tualatin adapter?

[RU482]

like the title says. Just curious what exactly the adapter does.

thanks

It allows the cpu to receive the proper voltage.

Tualatins have different voltage requirements than the katmai and coppermine PIIIs.

I've used Upgradeware Slot-T several times and they work just fine. Powerleap is too expensive.

I bought a Powerleap adapter to keep my old trusty 440BX-based rig relevant. I've had a 1.4GHz Tualatin Celeron running in it for over 6 weeks with absolutely no problems. Installation took 30 minutes and everything worked on the initial powerup. I didn't even flash to the latest BIOS beforehand. The adapter and CPU set me back $120, which some may flinch at, but what the heck do I care? It works and my PC is noticably more usable. The 75% boost in clock speed and the doubling of L2 cache was just what the doctor ordered.

Head on over to www.compgeeks.com they have tualatin adaptors for $7-8


I JUST ordered on thurs a celeron 1300 ($33) and tualatin adaptor ($7) slapped on a heatsink, bumped FSB up to 133 on my asus p3v4x standard voltage. Booted up at a stable 1733

They have a standard $7 (FEDEX Ground) starting out shipping/handling rate so pile on more stuff to make it worth while, bonus of Fedex ground is sat delivery for free. I ordered on thurs and got a delivery today(sat).

FYI the tualatin adaptor they have doesnt have voltage adjustments... so make sure you can change it in bios unless you like running hot.
