Dual Duron

[Nebuchadnezzar]

Are any DUAL Socket-A MB avaliable? Don't matter if it is AMD 761 or KT133A as long as is it DUAL Socket-A. So I could use 2 Duron 850 (that are not expensive) and have a very good performance at low cost.

Currently there aren't any dual AMD motherboards available.
Tyan has a reference board working. Not ready for sale though.
Tentative pricing however is over $600 US for the motherboard alone.
Dual TBird or Duron systems won't be cost effect at all when 1st coming out.

Have you read this review on Anand's page yet?

Uh Paldo, what the hell does that have to do with a fly's nuts?

Sorry, but that's a socket 370 article, the man was interested in dual durons. Don't think they run to well on socket 370 mobos.

Dual Duron is a dream at the moment:

- Officially, only server-end Palomino will support SMP
- No official word on whether Thunderbird and Spitfire Duron are SMP-capable
- AMD760MP-based motherboards are not available yet
- Tyan is releasing one soon but it's targeted for high-end servers

I wouldn't put my hopes up until maybe end of this year. <-- reason why I'm looking into dual P3 solutions at the moment
