You are right, its not easy to build a dual celeron system. Yes, I'm sure, I want to do it :) ! Thanks to KIKUMARUs website which shows a well documented procedure there is a way and even possible for a 300a: You must drill a whole and do some soldering. This procedure has been verified by several people reporting on the net..so I'll give it at try. Drilling a whole into the processor board doesn't scare me anymore, I did it already in my Celeron in order to disable the multiplier lock. I've done a lot of research and measurements last couple of weeks to find out the 'secret' of the mulipltier lock. Although I was able to get my Celeron 266 'posting' at at 4.5x100 and 5x100 it turned out to be not stable (not even with a core voltage of 2.4V). So I switched back to my favourite setting at 4x112 @2,3V. Until a few weeks ago I was not in favour of a dual processor system. But now, with the modified Celerons I can get a quite cheap dual processor system and I'm just too curious to find out how a dual processor system really works for my applications. There are a lot of controversial discussions about this topic on the net. But I think as long as you have several programs running at the same time you should benefit from the multi tasking capability of NT..but we'll see.
