Oldfart, can I get away with this? slotket adapter + Tualy?

[techwanabe]

You've discussed a $20 adapter to get Tualatins to operate on older PIII mother boards...

Here is what I'd like to do: My folks have an old PII 400 Dell system they'd like a speed boost on. I have my old trusty ASUS P3V4X slot one mobo sitting on a shelf with a PIII550 on an MSI slotket adapter. I'd like to drop a 1.3 or 1.4 Tualy on to that mobo, but I'd have to have two adapters on it... one for the socket 370 slotket adapter and the other for the "power leap" type adapter. What do you think, will the thing run stable with two adapters on it?

Using 2 adapters is a silly idea. Just get a Slot-T.

As above. The Ugradeware Slot-T is the one you want.

So how much is one of these going to set me back?

 

[oldfart]

~ $20 plus shipping

Excellent.

Obviously, two adapters stacked sounds like trouble. For the same price, one adapter so the only answer. I didn't know a single adapter solution existed so thanks much for clueing me in. I've been away from forum for a while, and the subject in general.

Cheerio

Do you know if the adapter is the same as the tualatin/coppermine adapter available at computergeeks for only $7.79.?There is a 22 dollar price difference which could go toward buying a chip.
