That's cool. I'd like my next Linux box to be dual processor. I've had very
good luck with my dual processor Pentium Pro boxes (under both Linux and
Windows 2000). I noticed (subjectively) a nice performance jump with dual
processor under Linux. About a year ago or so, dual processor Celeron boards
were popular, but then I came across someone saying Intel has fuzzed up the
Celerons so they wouldn't work on dual processor boards because the cheap
little processors were cutting into their Pentium III (or IV?) sales for
multiprocessor servers.

Can anyone confirm this? Is there an inexpensive route to dual processors
using the AMD's Athlon chips. That I would like to try, you bet1
