“Future Power has introduced two Dual Millennium PCs — the
first systems ever equipped with two Intel Celeron processors.

Available in two configurations, the Dual Millennium models
offer the “byte” of a Pentium III to handle data-intensive Y2K
applications — at an affordable price.

Because Dual Millennium PCs support Symmetric Multi-Processing
(SMP) platforms and were designed for stability, applications run
in protected and isolated mode. In other words, if a running
program crashes, the rest of the operating system theoretically
remains unaffected.”

“The Dual Millennium full-tower system contains two Intel
Celeron 466A CPUs, 256MB memory, 20GB UDMA hard drive
, 3Com
Fast Etherlink (10/100 BT) Network Interface Card, 3D Audio sound
card, 1.44MB floppy drive, Samsung 48X CD-ROM drive, an ATI or
Diamond 8MB AGP graphic card, Future Power Internet PS2 keyboard,
PS2 Mouse and Linux operating system (with the option of
Windows NT).”
