Can A Slot One Run A Slot 2 Xeon ???

I have a tyan s1830 tsunami with an Intel 440 BX/GX chip set when I look at xeon boards I see they are gx will this allow me to run a xeon processor the manufacturer never replies to any questions ( I have asked about 10 since I bought this board) so I thought I would ask the real experts will my idea work ??

Just wondered

I'm pretty sure that the slot1 boards will not take a slot2 proc, such as the slot xeons. They have a different number of connectors on the cartridge.

Newp, the Xeons Slot2's are not at all compatible with the Slot1's. Kinda sucks. I'd really like to toy around with some of the older Xeons.

slot 1

yes epox sells a slot 1 to slot 2 adapter
click on mobos, then scoll down to the bottom
there you wil find it.
epox is the manufacturer that sells that type of adapter

I believe the slot 1 to slot 2 adapters that littlerichie is refering to are for adapting slot1 cpus into slot 2 motherboards and not the other way around. This allows you to run slot1 cpus in a slot 2 motherboard. As for running a slot2 processor in a slot1 board that's not possible. Even in the case of the adapters that allow you to use slot1 cpus in slot2 motherboard those usually only work with certain specific slot 2 boards. If Epox sells such an adapter it's probably for a particular slot2 board they make that will run slot1 cpus. At the very least the slot 2 board would have to have bios support for slot 1 cpus. That's probably not the case with most slot2 boards.
