[ILUG] quake3 & SMP ?

[Philip Trickett]

I seem to remember seeing a thread on b6.com a while back claiming that it
was possible to run 2 different clock speed processors on a BP6, as long as
they used the same front side bus.  Never tried it though, as I was having
enough fun as it was.

Which begs the question ...
Is there such a thing as Assymetric Multi Processing,  using multiple
*different* processors on a box ...
ISTR a thread about AMD using the Alpha Slot / MoBo architecture a while
back, which lead ppl to think that an Athlon for i386 compat, and an Alpha
for number-crunching would be a nice mix ...
Me  - I'm only thinking of a Celery x and a Celery y on the same board ...
(Or maybe even a pair of disparate Pentia[0] / PIIs)
