As far as motherboards go... you have a dilemma if you want to
overclock. To successfully overclock all the way to 450MHz (which
retains a standard 66MHZ front side bus), you will most likely need to
tweak the CPU core voltage slightly from the standard 2.0V. The only
motherboard manufacturer that offers an easy way to perform voltage
adjustment is Abit - I'm using an Abit single processor M/B here (Abit
BH6). I am not sure if they offer a dual-processor board even. IF they do,
that would offer you the most chance of overclocking, I would imagine.
The nice thing with Abit is that the voltage and every other thing
imaginable is available in their BIOS setup screen. The very few other
M/B's that *do* offer voltage settings do it via jumpers.
If you want to run at the rated speed, I don't think you will find a
more solid dual processor motherboard than the ASUS P2B-D. I've used
them in several Redhat Linux-based network server's I've built for
people. Its one of the few M/B's that is still jumper based - but for
a server, I don't mind that.
Are you sure that putting a S370 PPGA into a SEPP adapter will let it
run in SMP mode, with no mods? All I've seen on doing this are the
various plans on the Internet telling how to mod the SEPP version of
the Celeron, which is non-trivial....
