        Interesting yes, it's maybe the only upgrade path that makes sense with the tualatin. (BX+Tualatin=very good performance)

        But still...you can get an Athlon+MB for the same price as one 1,26GHz Tualatin.

          Too bad the Tualatin are WAY overpriced....

          (I saw a local price here of $540.00 CDN for the 1.2GHz,
          as opposed to $255.00 for the AMD at 1.2GHz.)

            But there are a lot of people who (understandably) stick with intel for reliability reasons. It's not the CPU, it's the motherboards that are the big issue.
            Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

              "$255.00 for the AMD at 1.2GHz"

              !?!?!? Where do you get your hardware? I can easily find a Athlon 1.4ghz at less than $200cdn.
              Primary system specs:
              Asus A7V266-E | AthlonXP 1700+ | Alpha Pal8045T | Radeon 8500 | 256mb Crucial DDR | Maxtor D740X 40gb | Ricoh 8/8/32 | Toshiba 16X DVD | 3Com 905C TX NIC | Hercules Fortissimo II | Antec SX635 | Win2k Pro

                If you check their forums you will see that they may produce the VIA chipset compatible version but it will be more expensive. Its a shame to have to do away with an expensive MB because of a lack of upgrade support. I don't find this adapter too interesting for me yet since I now have my Gigger working in my P2B-S. I'm sure this setup will be great for others less fortunate as the CPU prices drop some in price.

                  Its the perfect thing to match my P3B with a Tually Cellery.

                    No luck using this kit on my buddy's P2B-LS. PowerLeap said that they were having compatibility problems with the P2B-XX MBs, except a dualed P2B-DS. Looks like he's going to have to figure out something else in order to improve on his P!!!/450 setup.
