I have a BP6 with dual 433 MHz Celerons, great and dirt cheap little chips. But there are probably better options for SMP motherboards now (the Highpoint Ultra-66 controller is flakey and the PCI bus is limited to 66 MHz unless you overcook). It may be more cost effective to go up to a dual athlon system. In Mandrake you'll need to switch to the smp kernel. (Install the rpm and change lilo or grub).
