dual CPU set-up/
Hi there, I plan to build a dual CPU computer. I haven't followed what's new on harware stuff from the (old) times of PIII or AMD1.0-1.2 GHz. I have a couple of question to start with: 1) Is it OK to build a dual CPU computer based on Pentium 4 rather than Xeon? For example does P4 2.66GHz B have 'what it needs' to be used in a dual CPU setup? -By dual CPU setup I mean 2 CPUs on the same motherboard. 2) Which kind of Athlon have hyperthred. and can be used for a dual setup?(I remember last time -few years ago-I've checked AMD-MP was good for SMP) 3) What motherboard would you recomend for a dual core setup based on Pentium / or AMD. I hint for such SMP 2CPUs motherboard brand at around 200$. 4) Can anyone estimate how much might cost me such a set-up? The set-up would bassically consist of: -2 CPUs either on AMD or Pentium -1 dual CPU motherboard. -2x512Mb DDRAM -1Gbit Enthernet card -other stuff I already have it like old GF2MX video card, 80Gb HDD, CD-RW unit, maybe a floppy, case, case fun. 5) Basically what is the best combination: 2CPUs on a 1 dualCPU motherboard I can get ot today from the point of view of performance / price? Any help or opinion would be really appreciated. Thank you. John |
