I know there aren't any dual boards out till June 4th, and thats when the final 1.4gig Tbird will come out also. Just wondering if any one knows if the current line of chips will work on the dual board like 2-1.33 axia's-of if they are only gonna work with the new "Palamino" core cause i have read that the new board will require a new chip-the Palamino's are said to run a BUS speed of 300+?? If so than these chips( Duron + Tbird) wont work ...right?? Im wondering b/c im bout to get a Iwill KK266R and a 1.3axia, and dont wanna have to buy a whole new setup when the dual comes out(I want the dual bad) just wondering if i should skip the Iwill and just totally wait for the dual and the new chips? Feedback Plese-- http://www.theinquirer.net/05050104.htm

From the article it would appear that they won't fly with the current CPUs, but that seems to contradict a lot of earlier press. I will say one thing though. You'd better have a whole lot of loot to even consider trying out duallies with AMD. Automatically, ECC DDRAM, 450 PSU with the additional 12V connector, etc.
