We use with great success and with reliability TYAN's Thunder 2500 mainboard (2x 866MHz) for our server box. We wish to upgrade this machine with to 1000 MHz Intel PIII CPUs within the next months. As we know, this mainboard has two SLOT 1 for CPUs and the most Intel-launched CPUs today are FC-PGA types. My first though was to obtain high quality (but from whom?) Slot 1 to FC-PGA converters as offered by several vendors but in the past I read much about high frequency/impedance problems with CPUs in such converter boards, especially for dual SMP systems. Has anyone experiences with such converters in DUAL-SMP boxes and CPUs >933 MHz? Can you name me please some high quality vendors of such boards? Thanks. Oliver -- MfG O.
