Currently the Tyan is the only dual Athlon board on the market. Others should follow in the next few months with much lower pricing. Once the boards hit $200 I am sure lots of people will be using them.

Am considering building a single processor system consisting of the Epox 8K7a+, 1.4GHz Athlon, Maxtor Fire Ball+ 7200rpm ATA/100 hard drive, 2-256meg sticks of Crucial PC2100 DDR ram, Plextor 16X10X40 cd burner, Hatachi DVD-CDROM, Antec SX1240 case, Diamond MX300 sound card,
Question...Do you think this system could work for running Adobe Photoshop, Soundfordge, 3-d Studio Max, Director, In Design....ect. ect.

Sorry bout that forgot the video card....Wanting to use either the Matrox G550 or the Gainward CardEx GeForce2 Twin View Golden Sample Vivo
This box will do some 2-D rendering but will be used mainly for a Graphics workstation....no game playing and very little 3-D rendering...some video editing...Windows 2000 as the OS...It will be used mainly for images in Photoshop...big ones...300 to 500 megs

Sounds like a very nice setup. I am sure it will be great for the apps you mentioned. You might consider more ram if you are editing photos hat are 300-500mb. Make sure you have a very good power supply like a 430watt Enermax or the system may be unstable.
