>On another note, does anyone know if Athlon's are gonna be able to do SMP?
They will, and the design will allow for far better SMP systems then intel's design. Don't know where, but i saw a table yesterday with some data in it that suggested that a dual K7 isn't to far away.
If you would really want to, you can make them at home. The process isn't to difficult. The tubes are grown using a metal catalyst and a carbon containing gas (CO or easier, methane). The catalyst is made by impregnating a carrier (e.g silica) with a Ni salt. Heat it up and send a mix of N2/He/Ar + CO/CH4 over it. Maybe a bit dangerous to di it at home, but you could ask your chemistry teacher:-) (he should also be able to find some articles with a more correct way of making them %)

Hi,
>can I get a DUAL AMD processor system thou?
Not yet, my guess, 2-3 months

I hope this is the start of K7 news from AMD, nearing release :)
