Hello All,
Does anyone know of an adapter to let an amd K6-2 processor run on a
Socket A mainboard?

First guess is this would be like trying to breed a turtle with an
elephant, but ehhh.. what the hell, the question is free =)

Your first guess is correct. You have absolutely no chance!! Worth asking
though!

Yeah, the cheapest I've seen is called a Duron, or I've seen some
older ones given away. Sure speeds that old K6 too.Smile

thanks anyway. I guess AMD is coming out with something called a "Geode".
From what I understand, it's low power/low heat for low end processing needs.
Kinda what I'm looking for.. just thought I'd pass it on.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
