Are Pentium 4, more specifically Northwood/Prescott boards able to be made? If so, do you think they will be made? I know they made lots of duallies back in the PIII day, why quit now!

    No. Pentium 4s have no SMP capability.

    Oh, it could be done, but it won't be. The P4 supports SMP, as does the i875p, but Intel chooses not to enable it on the cpu- they sell the Xeon for SMP instead.

    Buy a dual Xeon system. Then you can have your dual P4 (the s603/604 Xeons have a lot in common with the P4s)

    The only difference between P4s & Xeons is the number of Pins and SMP is enabled for Xeons

    The core code names are different, too :p

    It was a joke based on past processor preference trends at short-media.
