Hi!

First of all - awesome page (my first visit and post here Wink)! Great work guys!

Now my questions and I hope you might be able to help. I see you guys as my only hope due to the "age" of the technology in question. Wink

I own a GA-586DX board for dual P1 CPUs. Dual P1 works (up to 200MHz), Dual P1 MMX works (up to 266MHz) and now I found out about the P1 200 MMX Overdrive CPUs.
a) Can one use the Overdrives in a smp (dual cpu) configuration? I found one japanese page that might have said it works, but my japanese isn't good enough for techno-babble.
b) would 2x 200MMX Overdrive or 2x 266MMX CPUs be faster?

Ok, I hope somebody will be able to help.

Keep up the good work! Very Happy

a) Pentium Overdrive with MMX doesn't support SMP (as per Intel datasheet)
b) P1 MMX will be faster than P1 classic (twice the L1 cache size plus some other internal enhancements)
