Matt,
I started building a box this weekend with the Abit BP6. It's working
pretty well. I'm still in the overclock tweaking stage. Currently I'm
running 2 Celeron 366's overclocked at to 523MHz. I installed RedHat 6.0.
I didn't have to do anything special, RedHat's install came up in SMP
mode.
One thing, if you overclock, be sure and set "Speed Error Hold:" to
disabled. This caused me some problems.
Here are a few good links to info on the BP6:
A very complete review, at least read this.

This is a very interesting shootout of dual PIII 500's vs dual Celeron
300a's overclocked to 504.

Subject: Abit BP6 Dual Socket370 Motherboard
Hello all,
I am interested in building a SMP linux box, and found the Abit BP6
motherboard is avialable from a local supplier (at about 1/2 the cost of
other dual boards (slot1))
Has anyone found any problems with this board? or would i be better to
steer away from dual socket370, and stay with the Slot 1 arhitecture??
Any asistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Matt
