Hi folks -

Just reporting in that my machine is now back from the hospitqal and - thankfully - I lost no data while the 'experts' helped me recover from trying to change a minor annoyance...

Unhappily - this disaster occured just before Patti's conference but, now, all is well and I'm nearly caught up with business requirements that went untended to for about 10 days.

It looks like message traffic has picked up here since I have been away - Great!!

And that navaid trainer posted in the Ground School section is awesome!!

Well, there's a good excuse for having a second system (aside from building a home cockpit!).

First - I gotta upgrade my first system....

PCs for Everyone: News

January 26, 2002
Upgrade your old Slot-1 motherboard to 1.2GHz!
We have a TERRIFIC new product from PowerLeap that actually lets you add a 1.2GHz processor to an older Pentium II/III Slot-1 motherboard. Everyone thought this couldn't be done, but PowerLeap has found the answer. With the PowerLeap PL-iP3/T slocket adapter you can add a modern 1.2GHz Celeron processor (which runs at 100MHz FSB and has 256k internal L2 cache just like the former generation of Pentium-III processors) to your existing motherboard. Upgrade for substantially less $$ than what it would cost to get a new PC. Use this adapter with an Intel processor (Tualatin or Coppermine type) that runs at an FSB speed supported by your existing motherboard. For example: You have an older slot-1 motherboard (maybe an Intel BX chipset) computer running a P-II or P-III 400MHz CPU, which indicates that your FSB speed is 100MHz and your processor is running at 4 times the FSB. (100MHz x 4 = 400MHz; Are you with me?) So, because your motherboard supports 100MHz FSB you can get the PL-iP3/T adapter along with a 100MHz FSB Celeron 1.2GHz Tualatin processor and SUBSTANTIALLY boost your system speed. Many of the older slot-1 motherboards don't even have native support for the newer coppermine-core CPUs, never mind the newest Tualatin processors, but with the PL-iP3/T those incompatibilities vanish! Be sure to check the compatibility list to see if your motherboard is compatible.

Regards,

William

Not yet, but I am going to be talking to these folks in the next few days, so I try to remember to check it out.

Thanks. Sure appreciate it. Now I have to try to find out what kind of Mother Board I have. Time to take the case apart, I guess.

Yeah, me too! I've got a PII 450 that was smokin' when I got it and is still great for everything but flight sims. I gotta find out more about this thing, could be a marriage saver!

Have Fun! (tm)

Me too. I finally got the laptop back up and running again, so I can use it to write up the description of the Sancho Memorial Flight. Amazing what some website crawling and research will do for you in a pinch.
