ok the terminator board is required but these are usually part of the actual motherboard but i could be proved wrong
The manual mentions using a terminator board specifically, and has a nice little diagram of a PCB going into the processor slot (just in case the user wondered what "terminator card" would mean... Arnie trading cards, perhaps? Who writes these things!). I had hoped that it would be a self-terminating board since I have only 1 PII that is available... and the other isn't matched.
you have to use matched pairs of processors my last dual board ran 2 processors with sequential serial no's but that maybe a little over the top
Hmmm... I wonder... Would it really be worth my while finding a matched PII when I only spent a whole £1 at the "Recycling Centre" for the mobo itself?
if you only run 1 processor you have to put it in the master slot the terminators are usually on the secondary slot
Yep, done that.
celerons will only dual process if you start cutting and soldering wires to the pins on the chip
Were there specific cellys manufactured for smping? Only reason I ask is that my bro has had a smp celly 400 board for donkey's years and it duals nicely.
