Dual Duron????

[ftkicker]

can you guys think of a good board that would work with 2 850 mhz duron processors, most of the boards i am finding are all MP boards?? any ideas? and im not look to spend a whole lot

if your not looking to spend alot then look at the tyans. as for duron boards, i'm pretty sure that any MP board would work. I'll be getting the ASUS A7M266-D and that looks pretty nice. it's about $200. The Tyans are less but i'm not quite sure on them, found the asus and stopped looking :D.

I think the Tyan Tiger MP (s2460) might work. Emphasis on "might" because I'm not sure that your cpu's will work properly. The Durons before the Morgan core (below 1ghz) will not show up as Duron MP's whereas the 1ghz and faster Durons will. I have 2 1.2 ghz Durons in my Tiger MP and haven't had problems.

First off, Welcome aboard!~!

Second off, Look here, this is a thread where I asked the same thing.
Dual Durons. (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=78802&highlight=dual)

Im going to suggest, do a search, theres a good chance someone has asked the same question. No offense intended!~!

From what Ive gathered, The older Spitfire cores might work in a dual setup but have been known not to either.
The newer Morgan cores seem to work better overall.

But Im babbling, there are some links in that thread that have some details with dual boards in there.

it seems that tyan 2460 will work with older duron but
its better to get the new duron 1.0gig and above.

unfortunately, i have tbird 1.4 gig. can i get another to put
in tyan baord. how stable would this setup be?
would dual 1.4 tbird be as trouble free as dual duron?

thx for the help

I've built several of these setups using newer durons (morgan) and they work just fine. Using the older durons is going to be a crap shoot as they were not designed for smp use and don't show up the same to the bios. Also, keep in mind that at 1g there were two types, the older Spitfires and the newer Morgans so don't mix the two. (only morgans should really be left in the retail channel but if you buy from an auction or something watch out).

Good luck.
