When/If is a System Board manufacturer going to make a Dual Duron board? Or maybe this shows my ignorace, when/if is AMD going to make a duron that can do dual? I know celerons weren't supposed to be run dual, but someone figured it out. Can/will such a thing be done for the duron?
 
don't know about durons

side note though: Celerons WERE meant to be dual, as far as design goes... they started as regular PentiumII minus the L2 cache -- they still had all the SMP functionality, Intel just ended up labeling them, quote, "Uniprocessor only" (is that a new word?:) so people wouldn't buy two celerons and get a faster machine then more expensive single Pentium II. Basically, they didn't want celeron to compete with higher products.
I'm not POSITIVE about older Celerons, but first ones therefore had full SMP functionality, no real trick in getting two of them working together (AFAIK:)
Not the case with durons/athlons -- they just weren't designed with SMP in mind -- yet:)
