Let the buyer beware!!!
I haven't been able to verify this, but I've heard that some of the newer
Celerons will not work as dual processors.
Although, I'd usually recommend scsi, for normal use, IDE is fine.
Scsi really shines with multi-task file -I/O...

Subject: [expert] FW-6280BXDR/155 (Dual CPU MB)
After following the list for quite some time, I decided to go and buy a
dual processor MotherBoard
since I read there were many problems with ultra-dma/66 I purchased a
ultra DMA/33.
The MB is based on the Intel 440BX chipset. supports Pentium cpus up to
650mhz,
it has 5 PCI 32 bit slots and one AGP Dual Master IDE connectors ATX
power conn.
I am planning to buy a couple of Celeron-500 and here is where I am
seeking your advice.
Is anyone having problems with Celeron processors... or would it be
advisable to spend some
more and buy the Pentium-II or III cpus?
For the moment I will install 128 Mb of SDRAM (PC100) and probably
upgrading to 256mb
and another point I would like advice is... HDD I've never used SCSI
before,
all I have is a scsi Matsuchita 8x CDR.
Would it be better SCSI or EIDE? I know scsi has a faster access time,
but is it noticeable?
or about the same that wouldn't care to go the extra mile?
TIA to all of you guys and gals...
