At 19981216.11:59 Zulu, Mach 1 was broken with a 1.0080162GHz Dual CPU
workstation made with low cost, 'pushed', commercial parts.

Mobo: Supermicro P6DGE v1.4 BIOS
CPUs: Intel Celeron 300A's. Hacked to SMP and 2.05VDC CPU core voltage.

MHz: 112.0018 Bus Speed Measured w/Stargate 1-1500MHz Freq Counter
504.0081 per CPU (9/2 Fixed Multiplier aka 4.5x)
1008.0162 MHz Total

Cost: $235/$80/$80 Total $395 USFRN (~$0.39 per MHz)

OS: Linux 2.0.36 SMP
1005.98 BogoMIPS
503.931638 MHz.estimate per CPU. (1007.863276MHz total)

Song: Devils by Motorhead. Album: Bastards
Drink: Zima w/shot of Bacardi Limon (Hereby known as a 'Gig')

I'm confident that this configuration will run 100% stable at full load,
provided 'light' active cooling. (Complete testing is on going)

Special thanks to Tomohiro Kawada for pioneering the Dual Celeron hack
which helped make this possible.
