.13 Celerons and SMP

[Gungnir]

Anyone know if the new .13 micron celeron 256's support SMP. I know they are not supposed to but has anyone tried it? Granted, between Dell and serverworks I bet I will have zero overclocking options in the bios, but has anyone played with these new babies?

They don't support it and don't work.

The chipsets which support Tualatin processors are all uni-processor chipsets anyway.

I know they are not officially supported. My question was, "Has anyone tried it anyway?".

The chipsets which support Tualatin processors are all uni-processor chipsets anyway.

I guess someone forgot to tell Severworks.....

Apart from the Serverworks based systems.

Why bother with just Celerons if you are going to spend that much money on a motherboard anyway? Just go all the way and get a Pentium III-S processor.

I have a dual 933 server now. If I can somehow get into the bios and get the celerons to work at 133 fsb (and SMP) I have a cheap upgrade option (60 bucks each). THats why i am interested

The Tualatin Celeron is SMP disabled, they are completely incapable of operating in a multi-processor system.
