Is there a dual CPU mobo for Athlon64x2 CPUs

08-09-2005, 09:28 AM

I want to spec up a new machine. I currently have an Athlon64 3400+, but want to get 2 of the new dual-core CPUs. Is it possible to do that with these new cores or am I going to have to spec up an Opteron?

You wanna upgrade?? You can send that cpu and mobo you have now to me and it's cool

no, give me your old stuff and i will send you an unused copy of WoW (yes US).

you mean with 2 processors or with 2 non-visual cpu's? (like HT?)

Only Opterons support dual Cpu's.

Basically I was asking if current spec AMD Athlon64x2 dual-core cpus worked in a dual CPU environment. HD gave the answer I was suspecting...

I have built plenty of dual and quad CPU config servers and workstations I just wasnt sure on the new dual-core configs from AMD. It seems odd that the CPU architecture supports multiple processors internally and not on a mainboard solution...

Anyone from hwhell enlighten me?

Well. Something for everyone I guess. (Home users, Gamers,Mixed ,And hardcore workers)

if you go to www.guru3d.com they have a write up on home page about building a pc and they recommend the amd 4000 and not to bother with the duel process.

I think GM is going to use it in both work and games.
That’s why the dual.core technology is fore. multitasking. ;)
