I ran a GA-6BXDS board from Gigabyte with only one CPU for 6 months with
no termitor card and no problems. I upgraded to 2 cpus by selling the 300
and getting 2 new 333's. This was to get the same steppings, now thinking
a little more about it I would now requimend that you buy the board a
throw a celeronA 300 in it (oc'ing is upto you). This lets you run the
system with a good cheap chip and then drop a pair of PII's in when you
are ready.
