I have been running a dual PIII/450 system for a year mostly running NT4 and since feb W2k. I usually run Linux under VMWARE with no problems at all. I have tested SuSE 6.3 directly on the motherboard, with the kernel compiled with smp support, all ran well. The board in question is a Gigabyte GA6BDX. What is dissapointing is the Bogo-mips rating, approx 480 with 1 cpu and 890 with 2. I get a rating of just over 900 with a single K6II/450 that cost a fraction of the price of the two PIII's. I know the bogo mips is not an accurate indicator of speed, however I am a firm believer in AMD technology and I hope to get my hands on a fast Athlon in the not too distant future.
