Hello there
On the subject of a 2 CPU motherboard for Linux, does anyone have advice to offer
on recommended boards, where to buy one cheaply, overclocking, etc.
Athlon SMP mobos seem vaporware at the moment, so I'm going the PIII route.
Based on some websites reviews, I like the MSI 694D and the ECS D6VAA. However,
the friendly neighbourhood assemblers I've met all point me to Asus -- which I find
a tad expensive at $390 just for the mobo.
Do the usual markets (North Rocks etc) typically have SMP motherboards on sale?
I've read in a couple of places (Atomic magazine for one) that it's no longer
necessary for the SMP chips to be exact clones -- apparently one can now run an
866Mhz and a 1Ghz chip on the same are socket 370 SMP mobo.
Has anyone here tried doing this?
Regards,
Sonam
