Anyone know anything about that MSI 694D dual S370 mobo?

I was wondering if it supported dual celeron2's or is the celeron's 1 cpu solution only and only supports dual P3's?

it does support dual celeron 1 cpus. Make sure you set the jumper for celeron as opposed to PIII. if you use a single C2 set it for PIII anyways.

BTW Jatwell had some awsome prices on them, he also was VERY helpful when I bought mine from him.

Ok, it supports dual celeron 1's... but not celeron 2's? or does it support dual celeron 1's and 2's? the thing I'm looking for is if it supports the 2's since I can o/c those like nothing else

I would avoid getting the RAID ver of this board. I have been unable to get the damn thing to work right.

As for the Celerons Bio is right, Cel2's wont do SMP.

celeron 2's won't do smp

So, niether do celeron 1's yet they have boards like the BP6 and this one which allow SMP with them. Hence the reason I would think this mobo would support dual celeron 2's considering it can handle dual P3 coppermines... eh could be that MSI is dumb and couldn't figure that one out tho...

PPGA celerons didn't have smp disabled. That's why you'll see a lot of dual slot1 boards with 2 s370 celeron 1's. the Slot1 celeron had smp disabled, just like the celeron 2.
