question: can celeron 566a be used in dual cpu config?

[anime]

I have an extra cpu that I would like to use in dual setup? just wondering if celeron can be use in dual setup or is it disabled by intel for dual config. thanks! And also can someone recommend the mobo for this setup--if this can be done.
Any info much obliged.

PS: this the coppermine based celery.

Nope, Intel bastards disabled SMP support on the Celery2's.

on all celeron 2? not even early production of celeron 2 spared from it?

If it's a FCPGA Celery then no, no SMP. You would have to go to the 533 PPGA pre Celery2.

hmm if that's the case. Do p3 coppermine also disabled for dual?

Some do, some don't. I'm not sure which P3's have SMP support.

PIII CPUs starting with the cB0 stepping are SMP enabled. Basically the cA2 PIIIs are not, the cB0, cC0, and cD0 are. CIIs of any current stepping are not.

The FCPGA Celeron is not SMP capable in any stepping.
