does fcpga decrease performance?

[Guest]

I have a flip chip pIII cpu for my cc820 mobo and I have yet to purchase a ssa adapter. I was just curious if the flip chip with an adapter will decrease the performance at all on a slot one motherboard?

Socket processors, in general, prerform better than slot processors. The main reason for this is that socket processors have L2 cache on the processor die, and runs at core clock speed. On slot processors the L2 cache is on a PCB (printed circuit board) and runs at 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 the core speed. So you should see a performance <b>increase</b> by using a socket processor in a slotkey, instead of a slot processor.
