I have W2K pro running on a BP6 (dual Celeron 433 @ 541) and an MSI 694D with
dual P-III 600E's @ 672, and they are both very stable.
I also have a client with an Asus P2B-DS (rev 1.06-D03, what rev is your P2B?)
that I just upgraded from a single P-II 266 (yuck) to dual P-III (slot 1)
600E's, although it won't clock past 75FSB. It either won't post at all, or
Windows NT locks up during boot. At 75Mhz, it runs fine all day long. Some have
suggested the vid card, I havne't tried that yet.
So, my experience with the P2B is not that great. I know that W2K Pro is stable
for me on two dual CPU platforms, something that I will plan eventually is to
upgrade the clients P2B to W2K, but I wan't to figure out these problems first.
