does it seem possible. I've the 3 366@550 celerons that would work nicely together. have you seen this before. 🙂

Whoa!!! Those Japanese never cease to amaze me. It'll beat a lot of new life into PPGA Celerons. That card will make for some cheap server. I wonder how soon a S370 version becomes available.

whoa.. is this thing for real?? looks like my dual slot one board might come in handy after all.. just sitting around right now. now if only i knew of an OS and some software that supported 4 CPU's....

edit: just to clarify, those dots mean insert name of programs and OS here because I forget which ones do.. 3d studio max and whistler perhaps??

I don't know if that is the same product, but if it isn't, there was a product that looked very similar to that announced a long time ago, before the ABIT BP6. I never saw it for sale, and don't know if it was ever officially released. Considering the EOL state that slot MB's have reached, I doubt that is a new product, and I doubt it would work in a dual configuration.

could be a great way to update those old slot 1 motherboards to dual cpus

Win 2k Server or above supports 4+ CPU. You don't have to have a program that use all 4 cpu at the same time, you can always use 4+ CPU intensive program at the same time to take advantage of the quad cpu.

Hmm...with this card, you think 4 celeron at 550 will be much faster than 2?? I doubt it is going to make much difference for the day to day computing activitis for an average Joe like me, unless you are talking about a database server or web server with bunch of hits. But having a quad cpu system definately gives you the bragging right. If those adaptors are cheap enough, I will probably do it since I already got 3 celeron 366 collecting dust.
