I had one of these for years, with two 400 MHz Celerons clocked up to 500 MHz. The setup was not really stable, though. Used it on Windows NT4, Linux and FreeBSD.
I used it with 2x 466Mhz Celerons on stock speed. It was my first experience with SMP. When compiling something with 'make -j1' on one CPU, Netscape 4.5 would run smooth on the other CPU.
It did crumble under load though. Compiling C++ software would fill the CPU caches and the shared memory bus at 66Mhz could not handle all the I/O.
It was imcompatibled with the Alcatel Speed touch USB (ADSL modem): after few minutes, the PC was rebooting. The driver was not SMP compatible. It took some weeks before I could change the modem, "hopefully" a friend in the same school year had the same motherboard and the same issue.
