I'm curious how did this overcome dual SMP limitation on these Pentium II overdrive?

I'm trying to remember if these Pentium Pro support up to 4 CPU natively Confused

ALR bypassed the limits on the number of processes at the bios level. It remains to be determined whether so many Celerons can be installed and whether they will work Smile
