Trying to run Celerons in a dual config is tricky. I have a neighbor that
is doing this but he is using the PGA celerons in a modified adaptor.  The
issues with Celerons is that they only have half the cache(everybody knows
that) that will cause the system to swap to disk much more often. but like
I said my neighbor is doing this with celerons 300A-PGA in a modified
adaptor and he is running them at 450 MHz. There is a company out there
that sells a modified adaptor the name escapes me at the moment. if your
interested send me a PVT email and I will find it for you.
