Re: "Elmer, From what I read the Alpha bus supported SMP and since the Athlon is using this same bus then it also supports SMP, just like the P-III and the original celeron and the world waits for AMD or You to make a chipset that supports SMP. get on with it." Yes hehehehe. So why do you think there aren't any SMP Athlons? Hehehehehe. My personal theory is that the Athlon is SMP broken. This would explain why you don't see any used with Alpha EV6 boards + new BIOS. If Athlons meet the bus/port protocol and the timings and electricals it should work yet there aren't any. Why? SMP broken Athlon is my guess. EP EP
