Hi Bo!



A dual-CPU Mainboard!
The last I saw was about 500bucks. But possibly faster then the mighty
i440BX chipset. Though, I only know fast Dual-Channel or
64bitoutperforming the i82443 Northbridge. The Southbridge is an other
story, if you would change it to a lame 8xx chipset or an
unconfigurable VIA chipset, then it is your own choice .


My COMPAQ Deskpro10000 P500 can do sound without loading any drivers or
starting a SETBLASTER line. Just start dos (from win98 or so) and setup
the sound card for the prefered software. It's a BX outfitted Compaq,
with an ISA-Soundcard ESS1869 onboard, but it behaves like a 8bit
soundcard , Sound in XP, 98 or so is good, as well.

My other PC (Tualatin 1083MHz) is similar, but the ISA Soundblaster
needs some lines and drivers to sound in DOS.
In NT it is also O.K., but can slow down some games (MSTS, MS-Rally)
Though, the NT-Pinball sounds perfect (w/o crackers)!


I know I could speed up with a SBlive, or something PCI, but... well,
DOS.
XP is no trouble.

I think DFI makes a "modern" motherboard based on a VIA
chipset for those old CPU's. It's supposed to be pretty
good. Check at newegg for reviews. It's about $50.

Those old CPU is still the newest 'core', we have on IBM-PC machines.
