Unlock the ultimate late-1990s retro PC upgrade path with this classic Slot 1 to Socket 370 CPU adapter card (Slocket). Marked "PII CPU CARD VER 1.5," this board was the secret weapon for turn-of-the-millennium PC builders, overclockers, and budget gamers looking to drop Socket 370 processors into existing Intel 440BX, 440LX, or 440EX Slot 1 motherboards without swapping the whole platform.
Whether you’re reviving a classic Windows 98 SE gaming rig to run Quake II, Unreal, and Half-Life, or completing an authentic period-correct bench build, this hardware adapter bridges the gap between single-edge contact cartridge (SECC) motherboards and socketed chips. Featuring auto-voltage detection and standard gold edge connector fingers, it installs cleanly directly into any standard Slot 1 motherboard retention mechanism.
