I doubt you can use this on its own, its more of a co processor and finding a motherboard to use it on its own might be exceptionally difficult, its a cool little processor however and makes a great collectors item.

It's not x86 compatible, and would require a compatible board. Not even sure what OS you could run. If you get no help here, you might on the CPU-World forums (https://www.cpu-world.com/forum/)
See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

A RISC based OS should work . .so a RISC version of Unix.
