AMD Peps Up Its Workstation Processor

"Advanced Micro Devices Inc. is rolling out its latest high-end multiprocessing server and workstation chip, the Athlon MP 2400+.

More here at The Inquirer

According to the AthlonXP.com website, here, "The MP2400+'s are the first SMP certified AMD processor to reach the 2.0GHz mark..."

Any word on the 760-MPX chipset ? As far as I know, it doesn't support any FSB above 133.
