I had a preFCC certification BeBox. It had the dual 66mhz PPC 603 chips.
Lemme tell ya: the dual 66 was NOT a quick computer lol. Maybe earlier than R5 BeOS was on it but by R5 it was a dog. The dual 133 faired better.
The biggest issue was that the 603 wasn't an SMP capable chip on its own. The GLU chipset could either run one 603 + L2 cache or both 603s with only L1 cache. Coherence was done in software.
I usually ran mine with just one cpu active, sadly.
Wish I still had it...
