BTW: let me point out: if you have a "Slot 1" board *DO NOT*
get those "Slot 1 - to - Socket 370" adapters and try to get
SMP to work with Socket 370's installed in the adapters on
your Slot 1 board -- it's not going to work correctly for
you, so if you were thinking about that, give up on the idea
right now, and just buy a different motherboard, if you can't
get a matched set of SMP-capable Slot 1's.
