I'm currently using this board and I'm extremely happy with it. The
machine only runs Linux and is very stable. Support for the UDMA/66
interface is available in Mandrake and in 2.3.x kernels. I'd recommend
this board for someone wanting to play around with SMP and who doesn't
mind being dead-ended at Celeron socket 370 chips.
I do recall someone else posting about using a slot-1 motherboard and
the slotket boards. This probably represents a better investment since
you can then move to any of the slot-1 cpus when you decide you've
outgrown the Celerons. Sorry, I don't recall the model or manufacturer
of the board. Anyone?
