Jim:
AFAIK, there's no way of putting a Xeon in a non-Xeon motherboard. Not
knowing your situation, one way out of your problem could be a new
motherboard. A scan of Aberdeen's ad in Computer Shopper shows two
suitable boards -- the cheap one is $676. Another vendor (Spartan) has a
Tyan board at $529, and an Asus board at $734.

Well, the edge connector is larger than a standard Pentium II slot and it will not fit any motherboard I have.  Is there some type of adapter that I can use to make these processors work in a standard motherboard, or am I stuck with worthless processors? Any ideas what I can do with them besides paperweights?   Thanks for the help.
