True, if you order one from Dell or Micron, it will probably cost at least that much. However, there are motherboards available that let you run dual Celerons. These boards typically cost $120, and you can get Celerons for $60/ea. So, if you have ~ $240 and some expertise at installing computer parts, you too can have an SMP computer. =) -Tom
