it seems I'm the only one with a Dual Processor system :\ that means I can't brag...(cant really compare 1vs2 cpus...) errr.. well here are my specs took me a long while to OC my Athlons to that much. The rig really sucks compared to uniprocessor gamming rigs, probally cuz o the single channel ram and 4xagp, dont b fooled by the magicial *2* cpus... i really only use both cpus at once when running rC5 and some 3d rendering apps, sides that the secound CPU works like HT tech, only better.
Dual Athlon XP (throughbred B core) 2,400mhz (swiftech liquid cooling) 266mhz FSB
MSI K7D MASTER-L Mainboard
3GB Registered PC2100 RAM
Geforce 3 (285mhz Core clock, 550mhz Ram Clock)
10/100 Intel integrated LAN
10/100/1000 Intel PCI-X 66 card
AOpen AW850 PCI Sound (C-media chip, unknown model, supports Directx 8 features)
RAID 0 120GB SATA150 drives
Dual Channel Serial ATA PCI-X 66 Card(this cost me more than my cpus,$200)
52x NEC CD-ROM/4x DVD burner
100mb IOMEGA Zip
though.. in sandra2k4.. WATCHOUT p4:
certified Pentium Benchmark killer at large
my memory bench scores SUK! I get about 1.7GBps and thats only after 30minuites of chipset/memory tweaking scores that low just make me wana
*sorry, there is ONE person who posted with Dual Pentiums @ 233mhz... looking @ nearly 100 posts isnt fun...

i <i>used</i> to have a quad athlon system. Its in the garage now...it had 64mb of pc2100...it was alright, i guess...my new ones better

Sephiroth: I read up on the K7D when it came out and I thought it only handled single xp support? It can only do dual smp on amd's mp not amd xp cpu? If your trying to do dual xp then only one cpu is really being used.

If you use Dual CPUS you have to go for Opterons as they can nearly achieve the magic "2x" performance. (Gotta love Hypertransport).

Bios revisions of 1.43B(might b 1.44B too)+ 1.3 only support Dual opteration Durons, mine perfectly supports Dual XP's, though Bios revision 1.1 and 1.0 even 1.2 dont support Dual Xp's dont know y. there was another K7D MASTER-L mainbord (it was green colored, mines red) mabye I have revision 1.1 of the board, but probally not, I think there was only rev 1.0 but I'm not gona turn the comp off and look (crunching important data right now)
Dual opterons and 2x increase? Ohh I know I think they still get pretty high though (like 1.79-1.86 scalling,) I might b wrong on the scaling part, I rember reading a thread abt dual opterons, but that was 4 months ago.. my Dual Athlons scale much worse, like 1.37 or 1.6 if im lucky

yes...we cant turn our comps off when theyre crunching that all-important data....all data is is ones and zeros

my quad athlon used to get something like 3.2 scaling...a little less when OC'ed

wow Bleakvoid that must be a 'one of a kind' system, quad athlons.
AMD never made Athlons Quad SMP compatible, the only cpu that is certified for configurations beyond 2cpus is the opteron.
though, prove me wrong, lets see some pics of that beast!

not that biga deal. at least you dont have to upgrade quad Pentium III Xeon processors, a single 933mhz Xeon with 2mb cache costs $4000

nvm..i just remembered what that "quad" board is...i beoulved two mobo's together internally and stuck em on opposite sides of the case.

that sounds intresting.. I guess it technicaly IS a Quad processor machine huh?
Though I bet if you tell anyone who's life is AMD that you have a Quad Athlon setup they'd be crosseyed heh
still have rank of:
certified Pentium benchmark killer
3.2 scaling would be incredable for a quad setup espically on Athlons..

me and a few friends are planning on completely annihilating that benchmark by beoulving together a crapload of parts into a custom plexiglass case...apty named "Project G". All we need is one old gfx card, a mobo, and a cpu for each slot on the mobo, and as much memory as the mobo supports, plus a network card for each one, and weve got a component...each component goes into our central processing unit, and from there it crunches whatever we want it to. We're also trying toi make it modular, so we can just add the components into a nes plexiglass case and plug it in, then set it up from the central unit.

its actuually the same concept as blue mountain, except were using any parts we have...even my old 286.
