Hi,

>What is actually the biggest number cruncher, the Athlon 1,4 GHZ or the Dual
>PIII?

From the power an Dual P III 1GHz system.

2 engines with full speed for analyses
Engine-Engine with ponder
Play with Deep versions.

From the price a Athlon 1.4 GHz system (processor "only" DM 350,-- DM in
Germany, like Computer Service Becker ... my big boss at the moment) :-))

>PS! Another question: What motherboard supports dual Athlon?

Tyan created the first Pentium II dual motherboard (Tiger 100)
Tyan cretead the first Pentium III Slot A dual motherboard (Tiger 133)
Tyan created the first Athlon dual motherboard ...

http://www.tyan.com

The Pentium Boards are very good server boards, I used the Tiger 133 for my CCE
tourney.

For Pentium III is the ABit VP6 or the MSI dual boards at the moment better.

I don`t know the Tyan dual board at the moment. I hope I get next week more
information. I will make a test on the server board from Tyan (price is ~
2.000,-- DM). The normally dual Athlon board from Tyan ~ 800,-- DM.

Hope the information are good enough.
Better and not so expensiv are the very stabil Abit VP6 Pentium III dual system.

Best
Frank
