The best way to get AMD systems is to look around for some online (or local) shop that will build a custom machine and warranty it. There are two SMP chipsets for Socket 7: the AMD 760MP and the AMD 760MPX. As far as motherboard goes, I don't know if that -really- makes a big difference. You could always poke around on http://www.2cpu.com/ Traditionally I think they have been AMD biased; I'm not sure. So basically each system will have identical components except for motherboard and processors? -Matt
