I'm surprised it's taken this bloody long http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

This is the System i've been waiting for for what seems like ages... Dual Athlon with DDR... i gotta get some money....

But maybe i better wait for Via to make a chipset, and Epox to make the motherboard?

*sigh*

I understand where you guys are coming from..... was just passing along the news http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

[awwall]

Just curious?

What would you guys do with it if you had one..

Can't imagine!!

Dual SocketA is very tempting, considering I can build a dual Thunderbird 800 system with DDR cheaper than a single P3 1000 with RAMBUS. I can't wait!

man this is a must have thing

just imagine dual 1,1ghz T-birds

hmm does anybody here know if the Duron work in SMP ?

[jad1097]

Yes the Duron will work with SMP. Also the boards are supposed to be out in Jan/Feb.

Needless to say I am waiting for these boards to come out before I build my Duron system.

[RobRich]

I will have to see if I can't "obtain" one of these boards before then. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif I really want to try out Athlon SMP, since the board architecture is similar to DEC Alpha's EV6 bus.

According to Peter Missel you can also mix and match tbirds & durons at different speeds on the same mobo. See the thread below.
