Am I correct in assuming that this is an empty CPU socket?
There is another one, a passive Pentium 2 cooler.
Do some motherboards have multiple CPU sockets?

Quick technical question
Just a quick question:
Am I correct in assuming that this is an empty CPU socket?
There is another one, a passive Pentium 2 cooler.
Do some motherboards have multiple CPU sockets?

Credo!

Re: Quick technical question
Yes, that's a CPU socket, and yes, some motherboards have two CPU sockets.
Re: Quick technical question
That's a weird motherboard that will either support a Socket 370 CPU or a Slot 1 CPU (but not both at the same time!).

Re: Quick technical question
Not that strange, at the time.
Re: Quick technical question
Is there a recognisable serial number anywhere on the motherboard? I'm quite curious about this thing now.

Re: Quick technical question
I'm sorry, but I returned the thing.
Credo!

Re: Quick technical question
But at least it has a CPU socket. So, you can run NetBSD on it 
Re: Quick technical question
Or Ubuntu, actually; it's tolerably functional with as little as 384MB of RAM and it's extremely user-friendly.Number Theoretic wrote:But at least it has a CPU socket. So, you can run NetBSD on it

It's a Commate P3/370A.

Wrong board, bud. The second pick is just stock footage of an old mobo, not the board in question.

I was posting evidence that motherboards having both a Pentium II socket and a Pentium II slot were fairly common back in the day. Posting a picture of the exact same motherboard in question would do absolutely nothing to show that. Posting a picture of an entirely unrelated, but similarly-configured motherboard does show that.
Edit: misinterpreted who you were talking to.
Here's an image of a likely candidate for the OP's motherboard:
Seems likely it is a M726MRT, by PCCHIPS.
