2xCeleron II 550 & ABIT BP6

Do they work together?

I suppose you mean Celeron 2 566, and no they don't

The new Celeron 2 are FCPGA, the old (and thereby the BP6) are PPGA.

I've read about a FCPGA->PPGA converter card, but I don't think it has reached the marked yet.

Also, Intel has supposedly crippled dualability in the new Celeron 2.

The celeron 2 fcpga chips are non-smp capable currently, so you would be unable to do that.
You could run dual coppermines with a Powerleap FC-PGA---> Socket370 adapter

What do you mean non-SMP capable? I know in the past, Intel has disabled the CPU, so that it appeared to not be SMP capable, but Slotkets got around that (it was just a pin-out). I assume this is similar (it would cost intel too much to redesign the core).

[Thundrchez]

You can take 2 of the Slot 1 P3's and run them in an SMP board. However, the official word from Intel is that you cannot do that with the FC-PGA P3's. And because the Cel2 is really a FC-PGA P3 with half the cache enabled, you will not be able to do SMP with Cel2.

Oh, well.

SMP is not possiable with current Cel2 steppings....
Kyle at hardocp tried Them on a BP6 with the converter cards. Either one worked fine by its self, but no POST with both installed.

however the FIRST cmines were also SMP disabled, but they work now.

Dual fc-pga coppermines will work together, however, you need one built after a certain date (i'm not sure what it was) because intel had to change its process as certain coppermines were haveing problems running smp.
