Dual Celeron ???

[Jochen Kronsteiner]

How good does a computer system with DUAL Celeron work ??
Please help me !!

its a little suggestive really.

You haven't even said how fast the dual celerons are ;-)

Lots of memory is the big thing.

And you need an operating system that supports dual CPU's

W98 will run on a dual cpu system, but it only uses one cpu,
linux and wnt/windows2000 both support multi processors
(I think that nt on supports two cpus, but I may be wrong).

Almost as good as a dual P-III system (on my Abit BP6).
However, it will work on Windows NT, Linux or other O/S support
multi-processing only.
In general, you will experience 50% to 70% increase in performance.

Arthur

Just like a dual PII or PIII - you have to run an operating system like
NT or Linux that utilizes the second processor. The best board is Abit's
BP6. Get it with dual Celeron 366 Mhz PPGA chips. Generally you can
overclock it to 500 Mhz!

Standard NT Workstation supports dual processors, and Server supports 4.
But you can buy server versions (that's for 4.0 not 2000 too by the way)
for anything up to 32 processors.

The Server version supports up to 4 procs
The retail Server Enterprise Edition supports up to 8 procs
and the OEM Server Enterprise Edition supports up to 32 procs

2K is meant to kill NT sales...

It is NT5 after all...

2K supports dual procs Professional supports 2, server I think 2-4 ,
with advanced server 4-8.

NT supports two CPUs, do you have anything official which says Win2k

does as well? That would seem to kill NT sales.

I have a couple of dual Cel-400 systems, both run rock solid at 500MHz
at 2.0v and 540MHz at 2.2v. The 400's were way cheaper than the slower
chips (no, I don't know why), so I went that way and used PC100 memory.

How it compares with a dual P-III depends on how the application hit
cache, but price-performance favors the dual Celeron.
