Slocket question- what cpu will work?

[elroy]

I've got an old Dell Optiplex GX1 [desktop case] PII 350 slot 1. I've also got a slocket that is labeled as follows: Socket 370 - Coppermine/Celeron - PPGA/FCPGA - 66/100/133
What chips is this thing capable of running? Would it run FCPGA2 or just the original FCPGA?

Most likely just FCPGA, but not FCPGA2, elroy. FCPGA2 - is that the Tualatin core or something?? I know most boards that support FCPGA do not support FCPGA2. . .

Now there are FCPGA2 to Socket 370 adapters, but to use that in conjunction with a slotket setup would definitely be "experimental" at best, and probably frought with problems. It would prolly help to have a slotket that lets you adjust the core voltage as well.

Hope this serves to help and not confuse.

Hey, better late than never.

I successfully used the adapter on a 440bx board recently to go from a 466c to a 1.1c tualatin, which doubles the cache. The bx boards automatically adjust this. There's an article about a guy w/ a dell doing the same around here somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.
