Does anyone know of a socket 7 to socket 1 adapter? I have a motherboard that has a socket 7 CPU and I just happen to have a Pentium II 233 that I would like to use if possible.
Thanks Don

I hate to tell you, but I severely doubt that such an item exists. The CPUs use different voltages, different RAM, and different chipsets.

And a different number of pins.

Not to mention completely different bus protocols. The hardware engineering involved in doing something like this would be staggering. You would be best off to look into picking up a Slot 1 motherboard and use that 233 Mhz P2 to run until you can upgrade it later.

Hewlett-Packard has a saying for this, "We don't invest in backward technology." -very revealing.

You can get a PII/III MB for about $60 at pricewatch.com.Most all of them are upgradable to a PIII 500 CPU.
