I don't get it, Powerleap Adaptors, Why?. Reading THG's recent article about powerleap adaptors, I don't understand why would you choose to upgrade a computer using it. If I read correctly, to upgrade your old slot 1 system to a 1.4ghz celeron would cost $160....

to upgrade. You're posting in a forum with class. It may be third class, but it's still class! Why do people get powerleap adaptors? Isn't it cheaper to just get a Athlon XP processor and a motherboard? If I read the article correctly, it would cost around...

New PC for Yule! Thoughts and comments welcome!. If I'm lucky (as in somehow manage to <i>not</i> kill my PC budget like I have four times in the past two years with doctor/dentist/car/house bills) I just may <i>finally</i> replace my Celeron 500 with a new...

8100 w/ P4 1.7GHz Willamette processor (400MHz frontside bus) 512MB pc800 RDRAM 120GB HD ... .. . I've already spent $110 on a 256MB RAM upgrade. Does ~$230 for a Powerleap adaptor and P4 2.8GHz (400MHz FSB, non-celeron) Northwood processor make...

P4 JUST OWNS!!!. check out the Pee4 peeing on a kneelling Athlon. I guess you can call the P4 the "RawHead Rex" of the cpu world, wake him up and he'll piss on you! <A HREF="http://www.hardocp.com/reviews/cpus/intel/p417/index.html" target="_new">baptised!...

Question about socket 423&gt;478 upgrade. I have one of these crappy socket 423 systems, and I saw that article about the Powerleap socket adaptor in order to use socket 478 cpus on those boards. Now instead of buying those 400 FSB pentium 4s that Powerleap...

stuff obviate use of the thermal grease or do I need to purchase my own and apply that as well?? The reason why I ask is that I bought the Plip3 powerleap slocket adaptor as well to accommodate the lower voltage of the coppermine that my MB would not otherwise...

PIII Tualatin. Updating two units. Both Dells. One Gx150 and one Dim. xps4100. Scanned and both will accept Tualatin 1.4's with adaptors. Adaptors, fans and heat sinks are 'in the mail'. According to old TH review, The Tualatin SL657 was the latest and greatest...

adaptor? i have seen a webpage for a sloket adaptor claiming to allow the use of the new tualatin celerons in old motherboards which dont support the tualatin core....is a device like this possible and how much would it cost? also does one of these adaptors...

all older P3 and Celerons use the GTL+ protocol. Both are incompatible. Powerleap sells adapters - with or without cpu - which DO translate the bus protocol. I am using such a Powerleap with Celeron 1.2Ghz on a BX440 mobo, which used to house a PII-350....
