another? that implies plural... why more than one? actually, as of yet, amd does not support multicpu boards, but this is supposedly one of their most active areas of r&d. there is something called a beowulf cluster that uses several computers chained together via 100mbps network cards and a full duplex switch to a load balancing computer. these beowulf clusters are highlighted on setiathome.berkeley.edu--guys put these monsters together to crunch out SETI data packets in a few minutes or something crazy =)

btw, shout out for SETI@home. put your computer's spare cycles for a good use--finding aliens, ehheeh
