Yea I remember that. While the DDR and some other internals were a clever re-use of some Alpha ideas, apparently the SMP guys were not among the team that came from DEC for K7. The only Athlon MP board I actually touched was from Tyan, and it was pretty flakey. I was trying to put together a budget workstation but on most applications, the 2P system was no faster than a 1P 'regular' Athlon (T-Bird vintage), and the T-Birds also overclocked fairly easily.
