dual processors

[ClocKworK]

I have heard of these people putting two processors on one motherboard?

And I'm not talking about dual core processors, 2 processors on one mobo.

Is this possible?

Of course it is, and it's even possible to have 4 processors on one motherboard, which Newegg is selling here.

That is damn crazy dude...

Can you make gaming pcs out of server mobos?

For the average person however, it is not very cost effective. But yes, it's very possible. Back when Socket A was all the rage, Tyan also made a dual socket mobo for AMD processors.

You would need a PCI video card, as that motherboard doesn't have any PCI-Express/AGP slots.

why aren't there any dual 939 server mobos?

 

[Clutch]

The S939 Athlon 64 series (and possibly the S939 Opterons) don't have the internal architectural capability to support SMP by the method of multiple processors.

dual core s939's oppys available.

Plus you dont need to move to SMP for a top range gaming rig
