Hi, > as for K6, well, it has full MESI cache cohereceny for SMP. whether it > will be supported in a P6 board is unlikely since K6 is Pentium pin > compatible. and every report I've seen says the current K6 doesn't have an OPIC (Open Programmable Interrupt Controller, AMD/Cyrix answer to APIC) on it. So none of the dual boards, P5 or P6 could run dual K6 CPUs. And they're not going to retrofit these boards with a new chipset, so they would have to toss them, or sell them in some other market. -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | Symmetric MultiProcessor FreeBSD
