Dual Duron rig- viable option, sometime?

[abracadabra1]

anyone know about any dual duron motherboards that might be released? any leaked info would be greatly appreciated

btw, what kind of performance benefits would i get from the dual giddup, thx.

I'd say probably 30-35% performance increase across the board.

I've read in some places that it might be releasred Q1 of 2001.

thx

btw, the performance increased you mentioned...is that only in SMP optimized apps/games or in any?

From what I've seen Gatsby is right, Q1 of 2001. A dual Duron rig should be a smoker on apps that can take advantage of it and shouldn't be that expensive to build considering the cost of the processors.

If you build one I'd love to hear how it runs.

[edit] Not all apps can take advantage of SMP so those would show no sognificant difference.
