Yeah, seeing the ongoing discussion got me curious enough to check it out;
there are a few chipsets out there that get around Intel's "the Celeron is
approved only for uniprocessor applications" statement. Kinda cool
stuff...if I were a hardware person ;-)

This sounds like it may be a variant of one of the hardware hacks to use
the Coppermines on ABIT's BP6. There is another one that uses the
coppermine upgrade adapter socket. Both the socket and the mobo need to
be modified for that one.
There are mobos out there that will use duals of either the original
celeron or the coppermine without hacks on the users part.
