I've read on the forums and on Anandtech itself that it is possible to use Durons (morgan core) in dual MP systems, although the motherboard manufacturers (and Tom's Hardware bleh). I am interested in building a relatively cheap video editing/game server box and I'm wondering if Durons are definately a go, just not officially supported. I don't want to end up buying two Duron 1.2's and end up only being able to use one. They're only 50 bucks, so I figured it'd be a great solution since I'm looking to stay cheap.

Don't think it's possible on the A7M266-D. The board checks for Athlon MPs, and if not, drops to single processor mode.
