@tubetime is it a filler for a multisocket board?

@tubetime now that's a long time ago since I saw one of those Socket 370 terminators. Dual socket motherboards were uncommon those days and the people needed mostly had both sockets pre-filled with processors as self builds of these systems were rare. The systems were ideal to bump into race conditions in software as the chance of threads running in parallel real-time was much higher than in single CPU systems with time sliced thread scheduling.

Oh, the days (:
