A little help needed, My ISP changed the dial number and when I change the setting to dial it works but is not remembered for the next time. How do you change this so it stays changed ? Thanks Hal

Wily, Good start on the dual topic. I have been eyeing Jon's dual-Celeron set-ups as well. I was wondering what kept the Celerons from being used in dual and quad set-ups in the first place? And the solution to this. It sounded like an artificial barrier by Intel for margin protection. P-IIs/P-IIIs seem as though, mz to mz, they are still and will continue to run 2 to 3 times as much as a corresponding Celeron, more than enough to cover the additional cost of a dual board. :) The dual processor jumper of the MSI MS-6905 is probably the most attractive feature of all. Before the Socket-370 Celerons existed, the only way to make a dual-Celeron system was to perform a complex set of modifications to your Slot-1 Celerons, which invloved drilling, soldering, and a whole lot of other dirty work. With the introduction of the Socket-370 Celeron, all you had to do was drop the Celeron into a convertor card, and solder on one wire, and your CPU would be capable of dual-processing. MSI has now made making a dual-processor Celeron system even simpler - simply drop your Socket-370 Celeron into their new MSI MS-6905 adapter, short the J3 jumper, and your Celeron is now dual-processor capable - no modifications necessary. The MSI MS-6905 makes it incredibly simple to create a dual-Celeron system, which will cost several times less than a dual-Pentium II system, and will offer virtually the same performance. cpu-central.com I don't believe this revision of the MS-6905 (requiring no soldering) has been released yet, as mentioned on an "update" on cpu-central's site. mowa
