As I understand, my ABIT VP6 board is designed for Intel's PIII processors 
in the Socket 370 config w/ FC-PGA thermal packages.  In the past, older 
Celeron's worked fine in dual CPU boards, but Intel witheld SMP instructions
from the newer Celerons.  Everything I've seen says they won't work in the VP6 
board.

I have not seen anyone report running the old Celerons in a newer board, like 
the VP6.  I'm not much of a hardware person, so I don't think I'm gonna try 
that, unless I get some good information stating that it works.
