        Which brings up the questions

1) When will these things be available? 

2) How stable will they be?

I was going to buy a board from Tyan [Pentiumn III]  based on the Via
chip set. The best review I've seen for it gave the thing a 2 out 10.
Basically the thing is highly unstable with both cpus plugged in-(
Doesn't matter how cheap/fast something is if it keeps crashing.

fundamentally disruptive technology, like the microprocessor and the
Internet? We're betting that it is."
