No, these depend on a currently non existent AMD 760MP chipset. This is
due out sometime within the next two quarters.
Currently, there are no options for dual processor AMD systems. These are
expected to be out before Intel can figure out how to get their P4 to run
in SMP mode though.

Right, and the Athlon has quite a bit of level 1 cache (128K) along with
256K (or maybe 512K?) of level 2 cache, plus that runs at the full clock
speed of the CPU.
Duron: 128k L1 + 64k L2
Athlon: 128k L1 + 256k L2

Totally agree on the price / performance ratio in the favor of Athlon /
Duron ... But are there any SMP motherboards supporting AMD CPUs available
out there ?

OK. Thanks for clarifying. I suppose that is for the current
revisions of both processors.

I believe there are. Asus, I believe, just came out with a dual socket A
board. Check http://www.asus.tw.

Yes, it's about CPU cache... For running a database server I'd choose more
cache with the CPU, along with fast I/O (SCSI). For anything that would

Depends what are you doing with your machine ... I've got several dual PPro
(these should run very cheap these days). Also, ABIT has a dual - Celeron

for your apps than raw MHz, try sticking to P3 = 600. I think P3 -
I've actually got an ABit BP6 (not that I've put it to any good use yet!
bad me! but I'll be running seti@home soon! one day.)
Abit actually came out with a version of Linux that makes the most of
that board. It's called Gentus Linux... Although, I just did a search on
Google about it and it
I am running a Supermicro S2DGE Motherboard with 2 Xeon 400MHz with 1 MB
Cache, I spent $350 for this
coard and procs used. I wouldn't give up the 1 MB Cache for anything, it
rocks. It is alot better response wise than my
Duron 700MHz system.

How do you determine whether cache is more important for your
applications than raw MHz?
(And, are you really talking about cache rather than RAM?)
