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!  More research before ya open your dang mouth Kenny!!!
