    slot1 and socket370 mobo!

    I found THIS at pcliquidator.com Would two different cpus work together? Let's say they are a pentium3 600mhz slot1 and a pentium3 socket370 600mhz.

    Info on this board

    Nope! These boards are designed to run only 1 cpu at a time. Slot 1 or Socket 370 - Your choice...

    Nope. I've got a Tyan Trinity with both processor sockets, and I've built two other systems based on the DFI TA64-B Slot1/Socket370 mobo. While I never actually tried it, both manuals clearly state that it's either Slot 1 or Socket 370, but not both.

    Agreed. My system here also has both slots. It's one or the other I'm afraid.

    I wonder if this is hardware, or can be re-written through bios...

    I'm not sure about that one, but I suspect it's hardware. Early revisions of the Trinity 400 didn't have a jumper to select which processor you were using, but the newer ones do, so does the DFI.

    Dual-processor capability isn't in software, sorry. One needs an extra interrupt controller for that (an IO-APIC to be exact), and the mainboard designed to use it. This is substantially different from the single-processor approach.
