On the subject of Dual Celeron processors in a system

I have this working in my system, with dual Celeron 300MHz (Slot 1) and run NT very successfully on it. However it is non trivial to make this work! If definitely does not work if you take two processors as delivered from Intel, and plug them in a standard dual processor motherboard.

To make mine work I had to take off the heatsinks, drill out a connection on the pcb of the processor module (0.3mm drill!) , and add two very fine pieces of wire. These restore the connections Intel deliberately left off to disable the multiprocessor features of the chip.

This is not a task for the unskilled!

Of course it could be that they forgot to nobble the socket 370 parts, but somehow I doubt it.
