I recall that back in 2002(?) motherboards with socket A dual CPU support were all the rage. What happened to the Athlon MP CPU?
Anyone know when (or why) they were withdrawn from the market?

I dont know anyone who has one. You planning to make an Athlon MP pc?
Heh no, I remember being asked at the time to build systems using them, uncommon demand compared to Durons and Athlon XPs. Just wondered if others had experienced difficulties in getting (used) replacements for spares and repairs.Quote:

2 MP Processors and the cost of the mother board was daunting.
Same as dual Xeon's with intel.
Tyan motherboards is one of the realy big names in dual processor boards for AMD MP processors. They still carry a very good selectiona nd the price has come down some
