Powerleap PL-370/T

I'm not sure I'm the first one who shows this here or not. I seen this from an overclocker website from Taiwan.

I do not think many of you could read the chinese there.

It shows that the powerleap converter card is for Socket 370 to Socket 370; PPGA to FC-PGA2. It is great that you can use from P3 (non-Tualatin) to a Tualatin CPU. And, it provides a special HSF and pin for this converter card as well.

Sorry if you own these Mobo because they are not officially supported.
MSI MS-6312 (i810E)
Tekram S3ZXA (i440ZX)
Tyan S1856 (i440BX)
Abit VH6 (694)

And, these are the known officially supported Mobo:
MSI MS-6153
MSI MS-6309 (694)(Flaky, but runs OK with 1.2 GHz Celeron. Overly slow with 1.13 GHz P-III, seems L1 is disabled).
BioStar Vega M6VCF (VIA)
Tekram S381-M+ (i810)
Abit BM6 (Intel 440BX Chipset)
Asus CUSI-M (SIS 630E Chipset)
Transcend ASL3. (Intel 815E Chipset)
FreeTech P6F2095. ( VIA PL-133 Chipset)
Transcend AVE3. ( VIA Apollo-Pro133 w/694X Chipset)

The author haven't tested the Converter card yet, since the Mobo that he has now is not supported. He is going to post the Review after he is done with the testes.

Got one myself, running on a BH6 1.01. My one only does 103 without voltage mod. There's been a lot of talk of the board about them. Do a search if you wanna know more.

Oops - I thought it was an IP3/T, not an S370 converter. Last I heard Powerleap weren't sure it was possible to get an S370 converter working, but I guess they have! May well suffer from the same overclockability problems as the IP3/T, though...

Can't see anyting VRM-like, caps etc on it. Wonder how it deals with the vcore???

I'm not sure too. The web site that i attached just mentioned about the converter but haven't posted any testing review of it yet. I'm still waiting for the post though.
