$5 slotket adapters

[Breadfan]

Certainly not pushing a site, but have no use for these but looks like a good deal so I'll pass it along.

Directron has Slot1 to Socket370 adapters clearenced for $5 a piece. They have a $10 minimum order though...so ether you buy two or something else there. They claim hte suggested retail is $39, I'm not familiar with slotket pricing, but sounds like a decent deal to me.

Unless you know the brand and model it's pot luck as they could be selling you any no name peice of trash

[Breadfan]

Most likely trash...its a clearenced item...and I'm sure its "various brands".

The only reason it is sooo cheap is because it can only support up to 100fsb. If you are overclocking your celeron ii 633+ this should be fine, as long as you don't want to go above 100fsb. If you are not overclocking, and you are using a 100fsb cpu like a p3 700 then that would be fine. As long as you don't expect to go above 100fsb, then it is a perfectly good deal. i would buy a couple but i have no use since i have 4-------5 dollar ones that can do 133fsb and have done 150.

Chances are high, that for that price, these slockets will not support 133 FSB (as mentioned above) and most likely will not offer core voltage adjustability.

Probably isn't Coppermine compatable, either.

What are you're plans for it?

You should stick to the "name" brands on this one, I think. I've got my Celeron II 600 mounted in a Soltek SL02A++, and haven't had one problem with it.

I've got an abit !!! model, as well. Works just fine.

Iwill and MSI make good ones, too.

If you're looking to just run a PPGA Celeron, you might not need something like these. But, it's nice to have one that is Coppermine ready, if you decide to go for a C II or P III.

I'd be leery of a $5 slocket. Remember, you usually get what you pay for.........

Posted the above BEFORE I went to the site you mentioned above.

Yup, no 133 FSB, voltage adjustments, or Coppermine compatability. Thats why $5.

A slotket that don't like the forced 133Mhz pinning and has no VccCore is useless even at $5.00 to anyone in this forum.

Now if there was an ABit, Soltek, ASUS, Iwill or MSI slotket going cheap, that would be different.
