  What I think I've heard is that the OpenPIC standard for SMP --
adopted by AMD and Cyrix, but not by Intel or board/chipset makers --
has been dropped from recent AMD CPUs.  The "Slot A" K7 (and a lot of
people are predicting a Slot A riser card for Alpha CPUs) looks like
the next shot at a multi-CPU system using AMD CPUs.
