I stand corrected... first of all, like a dork, I mixed up the P6 and P5. Second, I have now heard of those kinds of adapters. I think you'd have some timing issues but it would be kind of interesting to find out eh? Because of the difference in cache speeds I think you'd run into some problems. Research!
