Re: "Elmer, I agree with most of what you say except <Why do you suppose there are no SMP Athlons? It's almost certainly because of bugs in the design.>"

We were told that by choosing SlotB and licensing Alpha's bus/port protocol the Athlon would be able to use the same MB as an Alpha, with simply a bios conversion. This was widely touted early on. Why don't we see SMP Athlons using Alpha boards?
