Hello everybody,
I bought a PowerLeap PL Pro MMX Upgrade adapter for my 1997 socket 7 computer. The machine runs perfectly with the original Cyrix Pr 166. Though could run a bit faster to run some music software a bit smoother.
The socket 7 has a couple of capacitors right on its edge. This prevents the PowerLeap fitting into the socket. It seems a PGA socket extender (Riser) would lift the adapter clear of the capacitors.
There problem solved, not quite, I can't find a PGA adaper extender anywhere. Can anyone help please?
Thank you,
Peter. Also is it ok to post the above on other forums here, which seem suitable?
