Ever hear of this?

Hey everyone...

My boss is wanting a reliable motherboard that has both the Flip Chip PGA Slot and a Slot 1. I've done a little looking online, but I haven't seen any. He swears he's seen them, though. Any ideas???

Thanks!

there are a bunch of boards like that... but they are usually used in POS systems.... why not tell him to just get a slot 1 board and just use a converter if he needs to put in a socket 370??

PC Chips makes boards with both.

Tyan Trinity 400... nice board. We sadly don't sell too many of them though.

PC Chips board are the worst board Ive ever dealt with...

He doesn't trust the converters. He wants a board that will handle a Gigahertz chip so the customer doesn't have to do motherboard upgrades anytime soon.

Sorry Sychophreak, but I cannot reccomend any of the boards that have both slot & s370 on them as they are too unreliable and the customer would only end up changing it anyway if they wanted to upgrade the video card.

Anyway it would make a lot more sense to use a good quality S370 board running the i815E chipset than to waste time & money on these combo boards, as the Slot 1 CPU's are now old hat and the CPU's are now all FC-PGA.

Thanks, Darren...

I'll pass that on and do my best to make sure the boss checks out a board with that chipset.

Good board never had any stability problems with it.
