Go up one level in this thread
the chipsets available for dual boards dont support 400mhz DDR memory that the AMD Barton 3000XP supports on current Barton Boards, so what is the point of putting them in a dual board?? If you take a major hit in memory latency and and improve virtual clock by a factor of say 1.6--1.8 depending on compiler settings or maybe even a 20% slowdown for non-optimized single processor products, where do you see improvement in performance? I can see way higher costs tho! Incidently, 3000 Barton chips are no faster than 2800 Palomino chips-- its all about extra on-chip memory caching and using dual channel archeitecture on the mainboard for increased efficiancy.
