Hello Arun,

I was thinking of getting a BP6 myself some time ago.  Got MSI 6321 instead 
and dropped in 2 Celeron 400's.  I couldn't get smp mode to work properly w/ 
non-ecc ram.  They ought to mention that ecc-ram is practically a requirement 
to run smp.  That was my first problem.

My 2nd problem was with the via 686 controller.  I would get sync panics or 
something when running smp mode.  Had to use a different ata controller.  Of 
course, this was all way back in ver.4.2/4.3.

Good luck!  Hope you get things working before 4.6 gets released!

David
