Temporary Dual System Help

[evanichka]

I am gonna get a dually board and cpus since i run win2k server and things are starting to slow down a bit for me... currently i have these configs:

P!!! 800~900 (600 oc'ed constantly changing the speed depending on use)
448MB PC133 Micron
10.2gb WD 7200 x 2 in RAID 1 array
Matrox G400 32mb w/ RR
and other stuff... all on MSI-6309

Ok, the first question is, what dual mobos are good? I have been lookin at the asus cu4xd, abit vp6, msi 694d pro... i don't really need RAID controller built in as i already have moded promise ultra66 and also win2k has built in software raid 1 and my drives are only u66. Which one is the best for performance?

Next question is how about processors? I was thinking celery2 but what speeds are the best bang for the buck (most oc able)? Price kinda matters here, since i am waiting for the amd 760mp to be perfected (will be released in q3 2001, but prolly will be till q4 '01 q1 '02 till good mobos actually come out). I could get another p3 600, but i will be lending it to a friend so.... any suggestions?

Iwill have a dual DDR board with RAID... dunno if it's out yet though.

Erm.... Celly2's don't do dual. PIII 866's are good value.

well i don't want to invest in a dual ddr board right now, i just need something quick and easy... celery2s can't do smp? no hacks available? hm....

yes i think celeron 2s can do dual on a BP6. you could probably get something like that to work. i think there are mods that you must do to get it up and running tho. good luck.
