This isn't NetBSD specific, but NetBSD does run on this machine I'm
asking about...

I have one of the infamous Abit BP6 machines, the dual Celeron one. I
have 2 Celeron 366s in there right now:

I decided to try to find a few Celeron 500s to upgrade. I found a few
on Ebay, so I started ordering. One came today, except it was a PIII
500. This is a 5x100 chip, where the Celerons are 66 mhz frontside.

My motherboard seems like it will run the PIII 500, but it won't do
SMP mode, right?

My quandry is I have another Celeron 500 on the way, so I'll have 1
PIII 500 and 1 Celeron 500. If the PIII 500 can do SMP, maybe I'll try
to find another one. Anyone know if it will?

Thanks.
