Go up one level in this thread


I would have to agree with the dual Celeron motherboard option. I know both
ABit and ASUS have dual/multiple processor motherboards available, and speaking
from experience I can tell you that the Cel 366A is one HELL of an overclockable
cpu. I have had mine running rock solid at 550 MHZ for months now (as well as
three others I have worked on)and it kicks the PIII 450 bad. Rebel 10 self rates
at 2695 with 128 MB RAM when I boot it up. I need to perform the Louget test
sets to explore this further, but I will tell you my system KILLS at chess. The
366A's are being phased out of the market now, but if you DO YOUR HOMEWORK and
could get your hands on a couple of these, you would have a smoking hot system
for very little money. Cheaper than buying an Athlon system. Happy hunting.

Regards, Derek.
