Dual Celeron 500's is quite nice in the Abit BP6, compiling a kernel with
make -j 16 is almost twice as fast as normal. http://www.bp6.com/ for
independant reviews advice etc.

If you're finding yourself cpu bound, this is a nice board. Make sure
you've got lots of memory as well.

Redhat 6.1 installed out of the box, detected and defaulted to the smp
kernel, the tnt2 etc.
