agree -- that dual celeron setup (often with a peltier cooler) was suuuper common, I knew so many people who rushed out to get them and run at 500? it was my second exposure to SMP though: First was dual socket Pentium Pro 200mhz which ran nt4.0 for the longest time (which I still keep that hefty cpu around on my desk for laughs)


Are you me? I also started with a dual socket PPro that I picked up somewhere cheap (it was decent, though getting outdated).

The only reason (I feel) all this stuff worked was because of how bad the P4 stank at the time, otherwise we'd all have been climbing the clock speed.


I also had a BP6 with two Celeron 400As. Stuck on Win98 for a while until Win2k graphics drivers got good enough for gaming.
