as the title says, looking for a cheep SMP setup. Any ideas on how to mod this setup:
$100 = Tyan Tiger 230D (Via Apollo Pro 133a) - dual CPU
$130 = 2x 667mhz P3's
$40 = 256MB PC133 CL2 Crucial SDRAM
$60 = Matrox G400 32mb AGP
$60 = Antec sx640 ATX case
$30 = Intel Pro100 10/100 PCI NIC
---------------------------------------------------
$420 total system cost
I'm looking for a nice linux server, but trying to stay under $400. I know that antec case is a little expensive, but it's to look nice next to my sx1240 (which has the same styling, just is a lot bigger). Also the reason for such a nice video card is that I do want some quality video out of this box too (2D only though, but 1600x1200 through a KVM = a need for good quality).
But my main question is: will celeron 800's go SMP? If not, what's a good substitute?
Updated to have a P3 instead of a Celeron & cut RAM to 256
