Whoa

What kind of slot would that fit into? Its a whole computer on a card. Socket 370, Memory slot,ide,usb,video,lan. This is so exotic. Could anyonw post a pic of theMainboard that this would go on.

whoa. weirdness. I have no idea, but my guess would be some kind of special server or rackmount setup.

 

[syberspy9]

we had one at are shop like that but it didnt have the ide slots.
dont know what it whent itno though i think the one we had just fit into a pci slot

dude that is sweet, wonder if that would work on an AMD motherboard, how funny would that be an intel and amd working together

Whoa...that would be the first time I saw something like it! But, to answer your question, from the looks of it, probably one of those large PCI slots that you find on server motherboards. Either that or those large slots, they have been phased out, but my 1997 Gateway has them. It has an AGP, then PCI, then these large ones. Definatly not the large server PCI's I just talked about.

I am thinking it is probably the server PCI's.

Nice find! That is really interesting. They have a new motherboard out that is really really small, http://forums.geeksonline.org/viewtopic.php?t=872

Check that out. Now if only you could get those with onboard video and all that plug into a PCI slot. With 6 PCI slots, you could more than quadruple the processing power of a folding farm

They use those in microATX cases to consume space. Goes along the bottom of the case. They have those *******izations on eBay all the time.

I don't think I've seen anything quite like that before.

If you want to turn your computer into one of the top 500 super computers in the world, check this out! This came out Oct. of last year. Interesting read IMHO.

Now I'm off to re-dream about the super seti cruncher of all time!

Ive looked into it more and its called pcisa, google image it and youll find lots of them. The motherboards they fit on are really wierd, and with no components, these things must just comminicate between themselves.

BTW: the large pci slots are pci-x and have pci (straight contacts) these things have agp style contacts.....so it wouldn't work

They are the brown slots.

my guess is that it fits into a server board or rack mount or something that is pretty cool though if they made one for pci that would be quite an upgrade...

though i guess if it ran in a pci slot your bandwidth would be limited...

Those are for blade servers. Take a rack-mount & pile 30 or more of them in it & you have the makings of a very powerfull computing system. They can be used for NAS applications, server farms for web sites, or for high end computations like DNA sequencing.

Nick, thats going to be your next computer mobo, right? oober foldage
