Dual pentium 233 mobo?

[bhu73]

Now don't choke on your keyboards...I have a pair of old pentium 233 mmx lieing around and I wondered if a) they can be run in a dual cpu configuration and b) if so...does anyone know of a mobo and where I might lay my hands on one?

Tyan made some just for this purpose:

They are harder to find that getting a cat to bark! I looked and looked for the Tomcat mbs. If one that works pops up at Eday, they bring a mint!

Yah, having helped a friend try and get one I know we had to pay a premium for it.

With the falling prices for chips, get a BP6 with some 366@550 or a VP6 setup...it should run you a little higher but with a noticable amount of better performance.

well, thanks all, seems like this little project is doomed. I'm not going to lay out serious pennies for fun. Maybe I'll see if I can cluster them instead
