I also have an abit bp6 with dual 366 celerons overclocked to 550. Each
cpu has a global win32 fan (big mother) glued on with a little dab of
thermal paste. This is a rock SOLID machine using the NJ bios. I would
not upgrade past the NJ bios for this configuration if you want a
reliable machine. I also bought atlas precision ram and ibm deskstar
diskdrives for accompaniment. Music, silk and dreams are some metaphors
to use for this combo. I use this for a production machine and do not
hesitate to recommend it for others.
