Hi People!
I am frustrated. I spent my last money on a pair of Intel P3-733 CPUs (boxed with heat sink and fan) and a pair of FC-PGA_to_Slot1 converter cards. I got a used MS-6120 dual Slot1 Mainboard and some cheap SCSI-discs and was happily plugging together what should become my cool linux dual-CPU Server ... the ones more knowledgeable among you will see it coming: The darn board does not support the 1.65V needed for the modern coppermine CPUs.
My question: Is there any way to avoid spending $$ for a newer Mainboard? I got no more $$ and I really want that machine running (btw. it runs fine with 100MhZ FSB at 550Mhz CPU freq. but I dare not have it run that way since I learned that that voltage problem would shorten the lifespan of my CPUs dramatically.
Please help! My hope is that there are FC-PGA_to_Slot1 converter cards out there somewhere who also convert the voltage ...
Thanks for any hints!
