Although this guy clearly speaks something other then english as his first language it isn't a bad read and it's a very interesting and simple solution.

Not very suefull for the average joe but its good to know that it is possible.

Strange, he says that the FCPGA Celeron works in the board. Quick, somebody mod an Abit BP6 and try dual C566's!

Or you could just plug in a Celeron FC-PGA and see what happens.

It seems that FC-PGA Celerons (but prob. not PIIIs) work in PPGA slotkets. Indeed, some people have had better luck overclocking to super-high speeds with these "wrong" slotkets. Dunno about motherboards though.
