Hi,

Has anyone looked at the PowerLeap PL-Pro/II socket 8 -> PPGA
convertor (http://www.powerleap.com)?

It apparently supports up to dual 533Mhz Celerons on a 66Mhz bus,
and is currently in Beta.

It is supposed to work[1] with Linux...

They're thinking of supporting quad-way Xeons (for ALR-style
hardware) in the future - interesting, and considerably cheaper
than those PII Overdrives that no-one's even advertising anymore...
:=)


Cheers,

AS


[1] For some definition of "work" - it's not too clear.
