They dont support it officialy. This is because intel would like you to use their more expensive CPU's for dual configuartions. With a simple hardware hack you can run dual celerons. There are even adapter boards that now have a jumper so you dont need to do any soldering. http://www.cpu-central.com/ms-6905.html A few manufacturers have announced motherboards with dual socket370's so you simply plug 2 celerons in. http://www.abit.com.tw/english/press/1999/epress30.htm Andrew Ludwig Pummer wrote: > At 07:28 AM 6/18/1999 , Pat Lynch wrote: > >I have a dual celeron machines here (Tyan Thunder 2 board) PPGA > >Celeron/MSI DUal PPGA->Slot 1 adaptor. > > Celerons don't support multiprocessor configurations.
