Motherboard question

[Bozo]

Does anybody know of a Dual P4 motherboard? I have two Prescott P4s and I thought they would be great in a dual motherboard. The only motherboards I've found are for P4 Xeons.

Besides, it's winter here and I could heat the house with them :lol:

As far as I know, Tyan, Supermicro and Intel do not have dual P4 motherboards. Are P4 chips capable of working in a multiple processor environment?

Hmmmm...I don't think I ever read anywhere that P4s are capable of running in multi-processor mode. Could be a good reason no one makes a dual P4 motherboard.

P4s are purposefully crippled in that respect. Intel wants people with MP needs to purchase Xeons.

There was something of a big deal made of this when the P4 was announced since at the time AMD was planning an MP processor line.
