? Does the c400 use 100 MHz FSB?
Nope, runs at a lowly 66 AFAIK. Overclockable? Maybe - 600MHz .
?? Can you fit dual Celerons in a decent BX/GX M/B "designed" for dual PIIs?
(In other words does the Celeron support SMP)
I am not a programmer and correct me if I am wrong, but isn't SMP more
dependant on the O.S? My guess is that since the Celeron runs correctly on
a BX, I would put money on a dual CPU config running an SMP OS like NT
working real well. After all I have built dual machines with P2s, PPros,
and P55Cs so why not the Celeron?
?I was thinking of a new system built around a decent BX/GX dual M/B
(probably
?Supermicro P6DBS - I like the idea of a built in UW SCSI adapter) and
fitting it
?with 2 PII-350s since they are reasonably cheap at the moment, but 2
Celeron 333s
?might be more cost effective, if this config would work. The idea being to
upgrade
?the processors to 450-500 MHz when the price/performance ration becomes
worthwhile.
Especially as Intel have dropped the price on the Slot One 333 Celerons to
$88.00! (Dealer cost). That must sound unbeleivable converting it to Pounds
(or is it Euros now Brian).
