Trying to find some info out for a friend, wants to upgrade this system if possible, (5 years old with about 3 hours of use on it)Supersocket 7 w/ 133 Pentium and 32mb of ram in it now, after searching for info it looks like it may be possible to put upto an AMD K6 400 on it, whats odd is it has an additional slot above the socket with what looks like a short sdram module in it, and the pics of the board I find dont have this? (could it be a co-processor of some sort?) any info would be greatly appreciated as most websites ive found regarding this board are in German, thanks

Hmmm, known as a "reniasance" m/b thought some folks would have used it, FINALLY found something other then Gig's recommendations, and it aint lookin good...Powerleap add on is alittle too much for this resurection...shame to see a machine with less then 5 hours on it (original cost 2000$) become "scrap"...guess it wont be the first time...im tryin to talk the owner into using it for SOMETHING other then a tax writeoff...(Pentium133, 2g hdd, ATI4, Sblaster, 32mb, USRob28.8, 8xcd) he wanted to put a Duron800 and modern m/b together with the old components, not so easy to do cheaply...
