As far as I know the only info is that it will support DDR-RAM, Dual
processors, and a 266mhz FSB, and it will debut after the 760 (also from
AMD) which has all of the above but does not support dual processors.  I
expect the 770 at the end of 2000 but that's according to the current AMD
roadmap which may change.

Do you have anymore info on this chipset (770) or could you direct me to
a website that does?

Hello Jason,

no way, AMD K6 and K6-2 do not support SMP in any way. Sorry, no luck. You
might  wait for Athlon Dual Mainboard.

AMD chips cannot be used in dp configurations although the K7 should be
able to by this fall when AMD introduces it's 770 chipset.

IIRC, only intel CPU's are supported in a dual configuration.

the best place to look would be

/usr/src/linux/Documentation/smp.txt???

[expert] Dual AMD K6's?

2000-05-08 Thread Jason

Hello,

I have a two (2) part question:

1) Does anyone know of a motherboard which will accommodate dual AMD K6 processors?  
2) If so, are the drivers available for the aforementioned hardware, for Linux?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated  :-)

Until then...
Good day...
