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. -- gerard boureau Laboratoire de chimie physique (UPMC-Paris 6) 11, rue Pierre et Marie Curie 75231 Paris cedex 5 e-mail geb@ccr.jussieu.fr tel 01 44 27 62 55 ou 01 44 27 66 27 fax 01 44 27 62 26
