Just wanted to ask Blizzard PPC users out there what type of chip they have on there Blizzard ppc cards. I have four cards of which three (Phase 5) are Ball Grid Array(BGA) and a recently acquired card (DCE) which has ceramic quad flat pack (CQFP). The DCE card is the only one I have seen with this style PPC Package. Has anyone else seen this.
Well, the BPPC PCB was designed to house both types of CPUs. Obviously this was made so that P5/DCE could use whatever CPUs that were available at the time of board fab run (PPC CPU availability has always been quite bad).
