Unfortunately, finding one complete in it's original case is very hard. It's like one of those ALR machines, you're pretty much reduced to buying parts one at a time and assembling them yourself.
The MultiProcessor 386/486 are very rare made by Compaq know as SystemPro
wrote:You do know that AMERICAN MEGATRENDS TITAN-2 only has 3 CPU option 90, 120 and 150Mhz and all depend on the Board Rev you end up with and there is no 100, 133 nor 166 support so there for 200 MMX Overdrive will not work on that board that you have get the 180 MMX Overdrive that if you get D, E Rev Board and I wish you best of luck.
You know your better off dealing with Pentium Pro or even Pentium 2, 3 Dual CPU setup.
I'm aware of the limited CPU support, I'm somewhat banking on there being BIOS updates for newer processors, but I'm prepared to fall back on some 150s if need be. Also I like a good challenge 😀

That Compaq SystemPro everyone is talking about is all kinds of win
Asysmetric Multiprocessing? 486 and 386 CPUs cooperating?!? Do want 😁
It does have a rather major problem though... the only compatible OS is a version of NT 3.51 with it's own unique HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer).
speaking for server boards, I have a dual ppro board sitting here... it "worked" but was flaky as hell, so i never bothered with it... was free of course 😀
maybe bad caps? dunno, haven't really cared 🤣

In that case I would just get the non-MMX 200s!
The POD might be faster, but I can't imagine it would be THAT much.

It made a world diff with MMX EXE
