One disclaimer that should be noted is the BP6 only supports the older
PPGA based Celerons, not the newer flip chipped based FPGA Celeron II.
There has been some success at getting a single Celeron II to work on
the BP6 with a voltage adapter but not in SMP mode without some
significant modification to the BP6. Go for an Abit VP6 if you want to
use the newer PIII flip chips.
I'm currently running a BP6 with a pair of Celeron 366's OC'd to 550MHz.
See ya
