Dual "Coppemine" Celeron's ???

[StuckMojo]

Has anyone seen or successfully done this? I have a Tyan Tiger 133 mb, two Celeron "coppermine" 533's that are both solid at 800mhz, and I really want to run them as a dual processor with win2k. I am using the MSI MS6905 MASTER version: 2.3 but only detecting 1 CPU's at POST. MSI has the dual cpu (for celeron) jumper but I am wondering if it is supposed to work with the coppemine celerons.

HELP PLEASE!

sorry,
but you are out of luck...
intel has disable the smp support for all the celeron 2...
so you can only use them as uniprocessor...
if you really want dual processor system...
you better get coppermine p3...and if fc-pga coppermine is what
you get...make sure you got the new cb0 stepping...
b/c old ca1 stepping fc-pga also doesn't support smp...

Nobody has tried FCPGA Celerons since those old steppings. I'd think that cB0 quality Celerons would be SMP capable.

 

[da loser]

somebody said that all cel2's are cB0, but everyone that i've heard try it tries to use it for bp6s. Somebody try it , oh wait you already did nevermind.

celeron 2 are "cb0" stepping!!
intel has disable the smp for celeron after they are been made..
probably the done at the same time when they disable half the cache

you can tell by looking at the back of celeron2 and coppermine p3...

Go to bp6.com to see the latest and greatest on dual fcpga chips. fcpga celerons are not dual capable.

bp6.com hasn't got a work around YET. I'd like to see someone figure out that disabled cache before the smp thing. After my toying with dual celerons, I'd never do it again. Dual 600e's are WAY faster and more stable than a pair of c 366's at any spee don that bp6 (i also dumped that board for a GA-6BXD).
