Re: "Elmer, RE SMP. If the chip will not do it yet then MSP boards are premature at this time. I never though you could just plug in a Athlon, change the bios and run SMP with a number of AThlon CPUs. Maybe the licence would not allow it...Alpha protection mechanism. Maybe the chip needs more work to perform that function. From what I hear they have that kind of CPU under development as we speak and first sample will be out first quarter into beta testers?" Maybe the chip needs more work to perform that function...<GGG> You just can't bring yourself to say the "B" word can you... For your information, all P6 generation processor introductions have featured SMP versions from the getgo with the exception of Celerons which were intentionally limited to single processor versions. I say this as I type on my dual processor Celeron system..... Maybe the Athlon needs more work to perform that function .... Very nice way to put it Bill.... EP
