I used an Am5x86-133 in 1997 with Win95a and didn't find it slow. I didn't use it for 3D gaming. And it seems like mp3s didn't become popular until 1998. Interestingly, I recall using mp3's before that. I remember still playing mp3's on my brother's 486DX4-100 around 1996 using WinPlay3 (Winamp was …
Dual AMD K6 computer

Found a post where a guy claimed to see one in the wild, evidence is low but he claims it was a dual socket 5 or 7 AT board using socket adapters with k6 450s in it running at 400 66x6 I assume. The motherbord reported them as unknown but the operating system showed two graphs in task manager. Neat …

Here is the short condensed version of his replies for those on the run Guys, I'm in a fix. I've a guy coming here tomorrow wanting his NT4 system upgrading to Win2k and all relevant drivers applied. So far so good. Then he tells me it's a dual K6-2. I ask him if I heard that right. I did. It used …

According to this some early boards had their own multi processor controllers which may explain how the system this guy found was working. http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?737 … mook-s&p=608177

I've personally had K6-2s running in old TX motherboards but the board identifies them as K6 rather than K6-2 Wasn't the 430TX single processor only?

I think he's just mentioning that K6-2s were misidentified as simple K6 on TX boards, not that he used them in dual CPU. Would be nice to see such a beast 😀

Calling bullshit. K6/K6-2 chips didnt work with the intel SMP protocol because of patents. The K6 had its own SMP protocol but a chipset was never made for it!

The original poster there, Hat Monster, is still active on Ars Technica. You could probably make a post there asking him (or others) to clarify.

im longtime on ars and know hat monster through ars, but dont care enough about 20 year old posts to ask him. if it was dual socket 5, that would be a k5, not k6 as k6 was never made in a socket5 variant.

May have been using an interposer to allow for socket7 on socket5. I think such a non-Intel dual socket 5/7 example would need to have some proprietary SMP controller, like those found in those dual 486 type boards.
