Dual Celerons!? 2ghz

[cyberey66]

Is there any way to run dual celerons. I thought that all celerons after 433 couldn't do dual but I found on a site that only 500-667 celerons can't go dual. I wonder if the new 100mhz can go dual. Starting at ~$60, that would be a fun project for a 2ghz system!!

Anyone know?

As far as I know, from the research I've been doing on the subject lately, the new Celerons aren't supported in dual configuration. The only dual Celeron's that I've read about are the older Celerons. See this thread. (http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?threadid=28710)

yah that is what ive heard

No dual support for CuMine celerys. intel cut the support so the cheaper celery doesnt invade the dual p3 market.

Thats what I thought.

But it's 533, not 433. Any Celeron over 533 won't run SMP. 566 and faster are the Coopermine based Celerons. They're neutered by Intel to force you to buy PIII's if you want duals.

FYI -- If you see PPGA form factor in the specs of the chip, those are Katmai or older chips that will run as dual processors. FCPGA (referred to also as 'flip-chips') are ALL Coppermine core chips, as Kingslayer said, from 533 and up. There was a mB0 533 SL3PZ SL3FZ (http://support.intel.com/support/processors/sspec/icp.htm) celeron chip that will run dual, but I think production was limited as I have not seen too many (most want the 533 coppermine for overclocking).
