Hello Arun, I was thinking of getting a BP6 myself some time ago. Got MSI 6321 instead and dropped in 2 Celeron 400's. I couldn't get smp mode to work properly w/ non-ecc ram. They ought to mention that ecc-ram is practically a requirement to run smp. That was my first problem. My 2nd problem was with the via 686 controller. I would get sync panics or something when running smp mode. Had to use a different ata controller. Of course, this was all way back in ver.4.2/4.3. Good luck! Hope you get things working before 4.6 gets released!
