Dual Socket 370 Card for a Single Slot 1 MoBo

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the ess-emm-pee dept.

Vertigo1 writes "This is a dual Socket 370 card that will allow TWO (2) Socket 370 Celerons into a single Slot 1 motherboard. The pic is here.The company is QDI. From what their page say it requires no special motherboard, but I have yet to confirm it. I dunno if this is really on par with what usually is posted but to go along with your overclocking and cooling stuff I thought this was a nice addition! "

  1. It's a gimmick by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5

    If you read the rleas a little more closely,
    that riser card with the 2 chips works only on their MB.
    so forget about compatability,
    forget about case space,
    forget about this.

    now the new abit dual 370 MB,
    and the one with built in IDE RAID,
    now those are interesting.

    this is just eye candy.
    (and how long is it gonna be until intel decides to cut this little easy dual celeron thing off?)
