Just for clarification.

Abit BP6 supports only old Intel CPUs in PPGA package.
http://support.intel.com/support/processors/procid/ptype.htm

http://support.intel.com/support/processors/celeron/ppga/
http://support.intel.com/support/processors/celeron/poc.htm

It limits processors to Celeron up to 533MHz (there are also
Celeron 500E in the FC-PGA package, don't try to use these)

**
Just walk through docs to make sure it has this limitation..
According to http://bp6.com/specs.php it supports FC-PGA
---
NOTE: Stability is a big issue when running dual FC-PGA's
---

The official Abit site states otherwise.
http://www.abit.com.tw/abitweb/webjsp/english/faq_search.jsp?pQUESTION=BP6

Don't have this board to check it myself.
