PIII TualatinS VRM ??????

[MajorKong]

Anyone ever see a VRM installed on a motherboard along with a PIII TualatinS processor? I haven't seen removable VRMs since the old Pentium Pro days.

The seller says these CPU are pulls from Dell 2550's, so could it just be something peculiar to these Dell motherboards? Or is the seller completely out to lunch?

Most server motherboards lack the VRM; on standard retail boards such as those from ASUS, Abit, etc, the VRM is included on the motherboard.

If you are looking to use a Tualatin processor on a regular retail motherboard, you will not require a VRM.
