I was given a tower case yesterday, and I found an ABIT BP6 dual socket-370 motherboard with two Celerons installed. Haven't confirmed their speed, but I believe they are 500 MHz.
I pulled out all the parts from the tower, and the motherboard doesn't appear to have any bad caps.
I see the Abit VP6 thread, and this board is older, one less RAM socket, Intel BX chipset, but does have 4 IDE ports. If it can support some P3-1 GHz cpus, it may be fun.
Is this old setup worth holding on to, and good for anything? I've not ran a SMP system before, so, not sure if it'll make much of a difference.
