OK, so Athlon is now SMP capable.  But can I buy a multi-processor motherboard
today?

Also are there any sites that provide "real" benchmarks (specfp, specint,
etc...) for these chips (and hopefully others)?  The site I used to look at has
gone away.  All I can seem to find are sites that tested with Quake, etc...
which (to me) seems down right silly.
