Early days way of mounting CPUs. if I remember back I think they're called daughter boards.
Even further back they used to look like modern day 30cm long GPUs in size.

God this really brings back memories. I remember having 4-5 PCs like this all networks so me and my friends could simply play Age of Empires. I remember having to rush out and buy a few ethernet cards to use too...those were very good days!

Wasn't this a phase AMD and Intel went through in the late 90s where they decided normal chip sockets were rubbish and using slots was the way forward. for like ½ a generation and then they both changed back again?
I assumed that card in this case was an adaptor of some kind?
Now I'm thinking back to the days when CPU clocks and multipliers were done via 'jumpers' on the motherboard...

Actually, OP: what the hell are you doing that you need such powerful kit? I might have to report you to MI5. You could give Maxishine a run for his money.
I plan to run MS word and paint........ at the same time :O lol

Good luck! I don't think that's ever been done before.

You wanna try running minesweeper and solitaire at the same time! That'll bring it to its knees!

Think I've still got some DOS 3 and Wordperfect 5.1 floppies somewhere if Windows proves too much for it. Don't know where my Borland Sidekick disks went though.

Damn I threw away a compatible joystick a few weeks ago, you could have had it! I would love to find out what my first computer was, cost £10 at a boot fair 10-15 years ago!
