Athlon MP Reviewed
RendEr writes "At The Tech Report, there's a review of AMD's latest multiprocessor chip, the Athlon MP 1900+. Watching this thing smoke through Linux kernel complies is a beautiful thing. Combined with AMD's new 760MPX chipset, these chips could help usher in a new era of cheap dual-processor desktop systems. "

does anyone look at prices vs looking at speed anymore? or did that go out of fasion during the IPO days?
AMD MP 1800+ (1.5Ghz) = $450cdn x 2
Tytan 760MP $660cdn
Total $1560cdn
Intel Tualatin 1.2Ghz = $360cdn x 2
SuperMicro Dual-P3 Tual. = $350cdn
Total $1070cdn
sure the AMD is faster, but it aint cheaper, I wouldnt consider it as releiable either, this is brand new technology here, intel is proven, I dont trust it.
cheap dual-processor desktops? what the hell are they talking about? cheap? intel P3 is cheaper. are they comparing it to intel P4 xeon? give me a frigg'n break, who do you know has a desktop computer they consider 'cheap' that is running dual P4 xeon's ! the xeon is the most over prices crap made to date, shortly followed by AMD MP.
