anyway my trusty chipset guide sez that the reason u are getting reliability problem is because the motherboard has a slot 1 processor format.... NOT socket 370. but it also sez that it supports dual p3s of that format so whatshisname was right there
Quote from galant56k: You cant run dual Celerons. They wern't designed to run like that. You can only run Dual PIII Cpu's in that board!
Please correct me if I'm wrong
Pretty sure that the motherboard will run a celeron but not in dual mode.
Your both right and wrong. The Coppermine and newer Tualatin Celerons will not run dual, however the first Celeron's called Mendachino's (or capuccino's as me and Ody call them) can be run as dual. The BP6 is a Mendichino board, althoguh if you got newer slot 1 converters you could probably run coppermine and maybe even tualatin P3's as dual (but not the celeron equivalents).
