On the page, if you search for dual, you will see the under Features; IO/APIC support in future versions. And across from that under Benefits you will see; Dual processing support.

Looks like Dual support may be in the future...

That could be very interesting for BP6 users.
If I'm not mistaken, the C3 still uses the old PPGA socket 370 interface instead of the newer FC-PGA interfaces. Could be wrong though.
They run on both a 133MHz or a 100MHz bus though don't they? I can't remember if they're multiplier locked either.
Still kicking along with the Abit BP6 :-)

I'm not sure that the dual C3s would give you any more performance than dual overclocked 366s.

What do you think?

No SMP support yet. Possibly they cancelled it.
