Dual BX + Celeron?

[Zach]

Are there slotket's that let you run Celeron's in dual motherboards? Not to mention the need for the dual motherboards to recognize Celeron's properly. I don't mind having to use slower chips, as long as they are 400Mhz+. This would be a cheaper setup to wait for me to have the money for PIII's.

Yes the power leap 370socket adapter allows you to run a fcpga chip in a ppga mo/bo.powerleap.com

I want to run dual Celerons. They need a mod to run as duals, and as far as I know only older ones will do it? So I was thinking I could get a dual Slot1 board, use slotkets that did the mod to PPGA (that's socket 370 right?) Celerons.

Like getting an Asus P2B-DS, and putting celerons in it. Or finding a board that will do dual celerons and dual PIII's...

abit bp6 I think will do both... Also the vp6 may work..

 

[squirrel dog]

an abit bp6 will run dual ppga cels as is.With the powerleap adapters,they will run fcpga cpu's.The soon to be released abit vp6 will run dual fcpga cpu's.I have a abit bp6 with dual 366 cels @ 550.I can also run a single 533 fcpga cel with the powerleap adapter.I havent tried dual fcpga's and the abit website dosent officially support dual fcpga's on the bp6.

Hmm... I probably have the worng timing anyway.. but I could have sworn that at one time they (MSI?) made a Slotket that adapted Socket 370 Celerons to Slot 1 boards, while enabling the SMP function on them at the same time... back in the BP6 days. My reasoning was that I could get two of those and a nice BX dual Slot 1 board, planning on later upgrades to higher end CPU's...

If nobody else remembers this, I'll just wait to see how the Duron SMP situation goes I guess. It's a while off (probably) anyway...

I have that exact setup right now. I had it configured to run Linux, but just re-configured it for NT4 Server.

- Soyo D6IBA MB w/UW SCSI
- 2 X Celeron 300A @ 464Mhz/103Mhz bus
(Linux didn't mind 504/112Mhz bus but NT did)
- 2 X MSI MS6905 'Dual' Slockets

the msi slotkets are out there. i'm running them on my sy-d6iba2 with 2 466's at 583. Fun Guy, nice choice of mainboard, heh.

Up to what Celeron can I use? All 370's up to Celeron II's maybe?

zach: basically anything from a 300 to a 533, but NOT a 533a (the one with the coppermine core)
