<html><div>This isn't the right place to be asking, but I can't seem to find
answers elsewere.</div>
<br>
<div>Is the celeron processor capable of SMP?(running with dual
processors?)</div>
<br>
<div>Right now I can't decide between buying:</div>
<div>1. 2X Celeron 333 ($660)</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp; ASUS P2B-DS (Dual CPU &amp; U2W SCSI) ($635)</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp; Fans &amp; Heat Sinks (approx
$85)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
--&gt; $1380</div>
<br>
<div>2. Pent II 450 ($1040)</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp; ASUS P2B-S (U2W SCSI) ($429)</div>
<div>&nbsp;&nbsp; Fan &amp; Heat Sink (approx
$30)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;=
&nbsp;&nbsp;
--&gt; $1499</div>
<br>
<div>Which scheme is going to give me the best cost/performace?&nbsp;
That are the implications of sunning SMP on linux?&nbsp; How difficult is
this too set up?&nbsp; Does the onboard scsi card on these motherboards
work under linux?&nbsp; I will be buying 100Mhz ram regardless and am
seriously considering over-clocking the celerons if I get them.&nbsp;
What are the implications of this for linux?</div>
<br>
<div>Any suggestions of better schemes would be greatly
appreciated.</div>
<br>
<div>Thankyou for any help:)</div>
<br>
