Hi It was early of the year 2000 when I got very good suggestions from here to buy BX based motherboard, if any. I'm glad I did so... I have been using my old trusty BX-based system without any problems, but it's time for faster ride. As I'll want to help with SMP which seems to be slowly gaining weight, am considering dual-processor system. Current dual-Xeon systems are too expensive, PIII is old (good and cool) technology, but 1,4Ghz Tualatin price is about the same as 2Ghz Athlon XP.. which brings me to the dual-Athlon solution. What do you guys think about Asus A7M266-D and two Athlon XP 2400+ processors? The information circulating around 'Net claims that XP and MP are the same processors and with slight modification XP's will work just fine as MP's. Actually I've seen dual-XP's on this particular mobo, but these were 1,7Ghz with Palomino core. What about memory bandwidth, it's using older memory as I see. Any hidden traps, besides cooling of course? Or am I on the wrong track and catching up the long gone train..
