Is it true that AMD K6 processors don't support SMP ? So, no dual AMD
processor motherboard ?
I heard that K7 will allow it, but K6 prices are so lowwwwwwwww....

1. AMD Dual processors & Linux????
Hello all,
I've been looking into buying a new server. It will be used for
apache, php, and mysql to server dynamic web content. I saw a good
article that compared dual processor xeons, PIIIs, and AMD MP chips.
http://www.anandtech.com/chipsets/showdoc.html?i=1483&p=1
The article praised the AMD setup so I thought I would give it a try.
However, I will be running Linux and since this is a new setup, I
would like to know if this configuration is supported by Linux. When
I say supported, I mean is it stable for use on a production system.
The system will have two AMD 1.2Ghz MP chips and a Tyan Thunder K7
mother board. I'm thinking about using 1GB of PC2100 266Mhz ECC DDR
SDRAM (registered). Can anyone shed some light on whether or not this
will work with Linux?
