My first-gen IBM Aptiva mobo seems to support only 5V 486 CPUs, but I want to put a 3.3V IBM/CYRIX 5x86 into it. A possible adapter converts a 5V board to accept 3.45V CPUs.
I'd really like to know more about this adapter by TrinityWorks, but can't find anything. So, assuming this adapter's engineers had 3.45V CPUs only (and, yes, some degree of tolerance) in mind when they designed it, will a 3.3V CPU be safe on it?
Yes, I found a lot of this on Vogons, and I will probably laughed at for posting this question, but bottom line is I'd like an explicit answer, which I couldn't find.
