What's the attraction of a PowerLeap adapter versus a new motherboard?

Because it cheaper! Especially when you consider the Dell has a non standard case/motherboard/and psu connector. So you'd have to change all three at the same time. Probably have to chnage the ram at the same time too. Easier and cheaper to buy a PowerLeap adapter no? Also if this isn't a 370 socket board then you gain that by adding the poerleap and you also gain tualatin support. Gives you a lot more options. Incidentally the tualatin celerons are a great budget buy for this kind of a machine.

Some links for you
