Crash99 0 Posted May 20, 2000 I have heard that only slot 1 p3's are able to run in smp...I don't remember the site, but basically the flip chips designed to run in smp...don't know if this helps either...if its slot 1 then I would imagine any dual mobo w/ coppermine compatibility would work...

Ronin 0 Posted May 20, 2000 Well I found a motherboard for my 850's I bought the Tyan Tiger 100 flashed the bios and it now supports my 850's This is very sweet. You all should see how fast my system is now. I'll run some test and get back on the SMP in Quake 3. ... Share this post Link to post
JMD 0 Posted May 21, 2000 Hi I have a question. Just how much faster will a system run with dual prossesors? I was thinking of going to 2 myself but I heard the diferance in speed was only about 10 to 15% more. Any thoughts on this. Share this post Link to post
EddiE314 0 Posted May 21, 2000 not really much faster with Games unless they support SMP, i had dual celerons overclocked to 500, and i noticed a he11 of a big difference with my overall system performance.....multitasking actually worked for once.

Ronin 0 Posted May 21, 2000 Having dual cpu's for gaming is not worth it, but for everything else it's great. They allow you to do many things at one time without a performance hit. ... Share this post Link to post
slkh 0 Posted May 21, 2000 I don't have a dual 850 combo, but I have a 512 Mhz combo, they are really great especially in RC5 and movies encoding. They are exactly twice as fast as single processor machine. Share this post Link to post
