Hey Andy:
I stand corrected. I do remember that now. And I do remember evergreen. I think they went under. Well, I believe you Andy. I'm not going to try it after what you have posted. I am just provoking thought on the Snaps. And by the way I did a search for the Jamco site and I cannot find it. duh . Can you tell me what the website is. There are so many keywords with Jamco. I will check at Radio Shack, but I have noticed that they have reduced a lot of this type of stuff which makes me believe I will have to buy it on line somewhere.
Thanks again,
Sincerely,
bitor

Now with that said, Powerleap (evergreen) made a deal just like you are talking about. It isa CPU on a board and the board plugs into the socket. They use the AMD K6 CPU since they had higher speeds for those (Intel had gone Slot 1 and Pentium II by then). Now I read up on these overdrives, and it says right in their documentation that the BIOS had to support the micro codes for that CPU (a BIOS flash). They also had a very long list of BIOS flashes they had for various Motherboard to use this overdrive. Guess what? SNAPs were not listed. As I said before, if you want to try it, have at it. Just let us know how it went (and be prepared for the "I told you so", lol).
I have not bought a cable like that in a very long time. The last one I bought was at Radio Shack, but they don't carry as much of that stuff as they used to, so I don't know if they will have it or not. You could try places online like Jamco.
