The guy who does the hardware column at PCW has pretty much the same setup as you do, :)!

I used to have a BP6 with two 400's in it until it died on me, then they stopped selling them, there is actually a websitel, http://www.bp6.com
Its pretty usefull!
Used to love my dual cpu board, was great, if you were playing a game that would use 1 cpu as most won't use both and anything going on in windows 2k would use the other, so it was smoooooth!

Shame its gone

R.I.P Abit BP6 :(

I have one of those Celeron 400s, which will soon be making its way back to its rightful owner. I have a Celeron 766 to take its place.

I still run a dual 500 bp6 as a w2k server.
nice, stable etc.
does everything i need from a home server, and cheap as well.
not running it overclocked though, did once, got them to 750, but didn't feel stable, not for something thats on 24/7, and doin't need the power, so turned it down again.
you can still pick them up on newsgroups about 2 times a week, try uk.adverts.computers.

Dual 533 and Dual 366@550 (that one needs a HDD that Win2K can fit one :().

Great machines and crunch SETI without putting up too much of a fight!
