Looks okay to me. You only have usb 1.1 though....

As far as the processors, I don't know of anything holding you back from using twin cpu's with this board.

However, If I may ask, what are you going to be using this system for?

Can´t really comment if these are the right parts if you don´t explain how you intend on using your PC...

The GF4 Ti4600 suggests you´re into games... Beware of the AMD760MP chipset, it isn´t really efficient for that. For what reason do you want a dual cpu system, if I may ask? Use lots of apps at once, or rendering?

Also, I think dual processors only work with cpus of the same model, i.e. not 2000+ and 1900+. Don´t know if that´s what you meant, though... But if it is, I don´t think it´s possible.

I want to use it for video games.
I didnt know if I could use two AMD 2Ghz chips or not.
In most set ups I seen have a 2Ghz chip and a 1.9Ghz Chip

Thanks

Dude. In most cases, dual-processors are not that great for games. Good for running a server, maybe.

For a while I was considering a dual-cpu solution before I ended up with my current system. What turned me off were the following:

- lack of performance gain in games
- lack of support for PC2700+ ram
- lack of 32-bit PCI slots (most have 2 or 3)
- lack of onboard features (which is why I went for the Asus in any case)
- I would actually have a faster system for the same price with a single-cpu solution

What was a major turn-off was the PCI issue. I have a PCI-IDE adapter, would have had to install a NIC, soundcard, and my tv-tuner card. There's four already. The fact that all the dual-cpu boards I saw didn't even have onboard nic just changed my mind completely.

So, unless you're running a server or need amazing multi-tasking ability without worries about peripherals such as soundcards (as youy may need to put a nic in there instead of something else), I recommend a fast cpu/ram solution.
