Inspired by siderider's thread about the dual 7800 video card, I felt the need to post up something I've searched for for YEARS but never have found. That being said, I did have a "close call". On another forum, I got PM from someone in Germany saying that he had an Asus P/I-P65UP8 motherboard with the C-P6ND dual Pentium pro daughter card.
Now I own its little brother, the P/I-P65UP5 with Dual Pentium pro's. In fact is is my motherboard of choice for my late/dos early windows gaming setup. (voodoo 1 era) I've watched eBay and the local scrapper for YEARS for even a hint of a p65up8 and I've always come up empty. So you can imagine the blue-balls I had when opening up a picture of the board only to see that it was NOT a p65up8 but the p65up5. The P65up5 and UP8 use the same daughter cards. They came in 3 flavors:
C-P55T2D - dual socket 7 (133-233)
C-P6ND - dual socket 8 (overdrive capable)
C-PKND - dual slot 1 (233-333)
ANYWAY, for the the inaugural post of the "things I will probably never own but would kill for" I present to the uninitiated, the Asus P/I-P65UP8:

(and if anyone has one for sale, please let me know)
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
