SMP Motherboards Specifications On-Line

Counting Started 4/21/98: Times.

Here is a list of SMP motherboards that I found on the net.

Dual Pentiums

Dual Pentium Pros

Dual Pentium II 4/20/98

Quad Pentiums

Quad Pentium Pros

Some notes: PCI+ means Adaptec's RAIDBUS ready. PCI/ISA means although there are two expansion slots, only one can be used at a time.

AMD and Cyrix CPUs are not supported by all the multiprocessing Pentium motherboards because they can't use Intel's standard in SMP. Intel uses Advanced Peripheral Interrupt Controller (APIC) in its chipsets and Pentium CPUs know how to use it. AMD and Cyrix have another standard called OpenPIC, which no motherboard manufacturer nor operation system is supporting.
