Hi,
I am going to build dual-cpu Linux workstation (yes, workstation, not server). The choice seem to be limited to dual AthlonXP or Intel Xeon systems.
Anyone using such hardware?
Yes..
Please indicate CPU, chipset, mainboard manufacturer, video card (I am need AGP, not PCI), your experience (compared to single-CPU system under heavy load), and possible troubles.
Dual Athlon MP 1600+ Tyan S2460 MB 1 gig DDR ECC registered RAM Adaptec 29160 SCSI Controller 2 IBM ultrastar 18 gig SCSI drives 1 Fujitsu 18 gig SCSI drive ATI Radeon 7500 AGP with 64meg DDR memory Tyan has several motherboards that are dual capable. Best to check their site. I like this one as I'm partial to AMD processors. And compared to my old 1gig Athlon this one definitely is fast! It's probably a combination of the drives and updated processors, but I've not had any problems with it at all.
