would you mind giving me a link to such document? Via is planning on realeasing a dual ddr p4 board, but i highly doubt that via would release a dual p4 (as in 2 pentium 4 procs) board.

What's teh difference between the P4 and a Xeon? Is it built in or is there a wee bit o' modding that can be done, just like on XPs to MPs? I don't think there is, but I'd love to hear differently. Paying twice as much for a Xeon doesn't make too much sense if there really is a dual P4 board coming. And if there is one coming, is there a difference between that and dual Xeons? It doesn't make sense that Via would make a dual P4 board now if it could have been done for years.

Xeons are a different chip, different pin-out, different socket, and even need different HSF's, The P4 does not do SMP, and I doubt very highly that VIA is going to make a Asymetrical MP system board! They could however build a dual p4 XEON MB...
No dual P4
