    None developed as of yet. AMD is considering a standard for such on their Thunderbird? chip in the future not K7 at this point in time.

    News flash, Asus is considering putting out a dual Athlon board in the next few months, but from what I hear it won't happen until the new Windows M comes out to help support it.

    News Flash! AMD guys say it will not be happening anytime soon. If ASUS claims they are they are doing it without the knowledge of AMD, and I doubt it will get approval. Dual processors are not the prime concern of anyone right now. There are also boards going to testing right now that support DDR. There are serious bottlenecks in the current motherboard designs. Mainly the PCI bus. I would think those issues will be addressed before dual processors. By the way look for socket A soon. AMD will be phasing out the slot chip and may stop production on it by the end of the year. In preliminary testing, the new Thunderbird chip is beating the dual PIII design, with a single chip. Thank god they got on the ball and put the cache on the chip. By the way when the sledgehammer rolls out, look for multiple processors on a single chip. (ok the AMD guys said it but I will believe that one when I see it)
    Anyway you look at it there is some cool stuff about to happen in the CPU world. Both AMD and Intel.
