Possible Cheap PPC Solution!!!!
« on: August 09, 2006, 10:20:51 PM »
Ok I may be way of par because I am no hardware designer.
But someone please tell me if this is feasable

Take a well established via chipset motherboard (pc) usually all the same spound chips ethernet I/O etc and design a PGA type adapter to take PPC's G5 etc


Is this feasable with all the accelerators and proposed motherboards that have been built from the ground up this will require less effort.


Then reflash bios with new firmware

I know its not that simple but surely it would envolve less work!!!!


Or am I just nuts???

i certainly dont think its easy i dont quite see how you can design or copy the existing ppc motherboards or the powervixxen, coldfire, dragon etc and this be easier than trying to do what i have mentioned.


Then again without the necessary know I suppose i will never know why a full motherboard design from scratch is easier than  this advanced hack
