dear ccl readers

I summarize the informations concerning the dual celeron.
The original question was:

does anybody uses 
bp6 dual socket 370 motherboard with two 500 MHz celerons.
price looks attractive.
It should work under linux.

informations:

1-David Groeten uses a 2x400 Celeron + 128 Mb
+8Gb+Network+video card + redhat 6.0
It works fine for about 900 dollars

2-S.Janicki plans to use it.

3-Other people in France told me they have such a system.
No problem.

4-At the present time, the new 500MHz celerons are not supported
We have to use the 466 MHz only.
(see the list     
http://www.bp6.comm/
(communicated by S.Janicki)
as things are changing everyday)

5-There is a new how to on smp with a section devoted to celeron.
see also the dual celeron myth at
http://www.hardwarecentral.com/hardwarecentral/reports/7/2/3/

As a conclusion, it looks attractive.
