I was browsing for something unrelated and stumbled onto this via google images tonight and had to go hunting to see what it was about.

What I've found was the QDI 'TwinMagic' that has two Socket 370 CPU's on the same PCB that plugs in to a single Slot-1 slot on a special motherboard designed for it.

I thought it was interesting. Did this ever make it to market? Has anyone ever held one in their paws? Did it ever exist outside of marketing at Computex 1999?

And the best picture I can find for it, here:

A friend of mine I was chatting with last night was googling around in the past on archive.org and found several refences to groups benchmarking em / etc, but not in the USA. He seems to think they made it to market and were sold, just overseas somewhere.
