Dual Athlon XP Motherboards?

[Viperoni]

Basically I'm looking for a dual athlon XP motherboard that'll support Mobile XP2500's.... for a quiet, fast and robust rig.

Thanks

abit, tyan, asus all make good amd 760mpx motherboards
but most would consider the chipset to be outdated when compared to the current xeon and athlon64 offerings. The price/performance ratio might not even be as good as buying two independent athlon systems in some cases.

i personally would get the abit board for an ethusiast setup with hopes of overclocking
and maybe the tyan board for a server or workstation environment
the asus board is high quality but i havn't heard much about it (think it's not as good as the abit but still better than most other boards like msi and gigabyte or whoever)


good luck

i would only go this route if i already owned some/all of the memory and/or one of the cpu's and/or other components to make the buy worth it.

hmmmmm alrighty.
I just find myself doing a few things at the same time, such as extracting files from a large .rar archive, while attempting to chat (using a sluggh web-based java program) and do very light photochopping at the same time.
I remember when I had my dual 366's @ 550 on a BP6 how robust and capable that rig was, hence why I wanted to reproduce that.

Maybe just getting a Mobile XP2500 and clocking it to 2.3ghz, 1gb of ram and increased HD speed will let me do that?

Yup.
