More Information

I want to build my own dual processor computer but I don't know what kind of mother board to use. I have two P4 2.4 procesors and that I recieved in exchange for work. Since I already have them I want to use them. where would be the best place to start.

First off this is here because I can't figure out how to add to post a new reply. Anyway. Thanks a lot, that exsplains why i couldn't find any infromation about it using google. What would you guys (girls) recomend for a resonabley priced dual processor system with some good power.I don't know what I'm going to do with the processors, at least they were free right.

There aren't any boards that support two standard P4's, all the dually P4 boards require Xeon processors, which use a special socket.

On 2nd thought, if you can exchange them for something like two P3-1Ghz then you'll be able to run them in dual.
