You can by an adapter for a couple of quid that you put a socket 370 chip onto, and then it fts into a slot A socket.  I've seen them at computer fairs lots of times


I've heard of 370-Slot 1 adapters, but never socketA-slotA.

I picked the parhelia because of it's ability to drive a TV and two monitors at the same time, and it's a bargain at $74 . This machine just chills in the den, no games, etc... but I do save movies from my PVN card to that huge Hdd. No important data, etc, just PVN'ed  monies.

The k7n2 is fine as long as you don't plan on running linux
