Tony,
It sounds like you have two of the newer Tualatin Series (.13 micron) processors which are NOT BP6 compatible. The voltage spec must be 1.75V for your P3s or they will not work in the BP6. If it is 1.75V. spec - then they can be used with the Neo370 adapters (not the Neo370/T).
However, they will end up being underclocked because the BP6 can't clock the CPU past 110MHz without exotic cooling & luck.
Still 1.13GHz x (110/133) =>935MHz is a decent speed.
To get the second CPU working will require a second Neo370 adapter, -AND- some soldering to the mainboard. For each socket, one wire between two of the CPU socket pins must be soldered to the BP6 for Dual P-IIIs to work. One trace on each Neo370 adapter board must bw cut. In addition, some components that supply power to the CPU may need to be upgraded - voltage regulator & capacitors (more soldering). This is a serious undertaking & knowing that there are other available Mainboards that can handle Dual P-IIIs with no adapters, for not that much more than the cost of the (2) Neo370 adapters - you might want to reconsider the plan.
Should i buy "two" Neo-s370 for my P3 cpu on BP6
Your 900MHz Celeron2 CPUs are also not Dual CPU (SMP) capable.
Only one can be in the BP6 & 2nd will go unrecognized.
Only the Celeron-1 PPGA series can do SMP in the BP6.
The Cele2-900MHz should overclock to 110MHz with good HSF.
At 990MHz Single CPU, you will get decent performance.
