abit vp6 dual p3 mo/bo

[squirrel dog]

Anyone heard anything about the new abit vp6?Its the follow-up to the bp6.The new vp6 supports dual coppermine cpu's in two 370 pin sockets.Also has ata100/raid support.My two 633 cels that do 950@1.70vlts would fit right in there.

how do the cellerys perform compared to piii's ?

Well I dont have a 950mhz p3 to compare with,but from what I've read,its at or past a p3 800.

I don't think that celery2's will work in SMP. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that it has been tried and found not to work. Intel finally did disable SMP for celerons.

the vp6 is for p3's not cels,although it can run a p2 cel.As for smp for p2 cels I think you may be correct.The p3 supports smp,I dont know about the p2 cel.All abit dual proc boards can run a single cpu.
