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.

A few manufacturers have
announced motherboards with dual socket370's so you simply
plug 2 celerons in.
