The Dual VDA-9573 (also known as the ERA-3173) is a Socket 370-based generic/ODM laptop that was announced in March 2000, with production scheduled to begin in April. It was the last laptop released by Dual before they went out of business later that year. It appears to be nearly identical to the VDA-9570 aside from supporting faster processors.
It supported Socket 370 Celeron processors, along with BGA Celeron "Dixon" processors, which were apparantly installed via an adapter into the 370 socket.
