Hi,

I'm looking for a dual-processor motherboard with the following features:

- Uses PC133 SDRAM
- Will fit in a full tower ATX case
- Preferrably Intel based (I don't believe there are any AMD CPU's capable of SMP?)

Any suggestions? :)

Thanks!

Abit VP6 is a lower priced dual P3 board.

Tyan or Super Micro make some good ones also, but they're more expensive.

Do NOT go with an Abit if reliability means anything to you.
An older but still viable board is the ASUS P2B-D, which is a BX board but actually supports a 1/4 PCI divider (agp is sill overclocked though)

IMHO, I'd go with the Tyan Tiger 100 (bx chipset) and set the fsb to 133. I ran my 650's @ 866 for over a year and never had a problem. Due to the higher AGP speed, I ended up with a Matrox G400 which never once gave me a problem. The memory was standard Crucial 7.5T 222 PC 133 which is now dirt cheap. Just a thought.
