Another company to offer dual-processor Socket A mainboards soon will be Iwill, a well-known server product maker. In March it will launch a Dual Socket A mainboard to be called MPX2.
This mainboard has rather elementary characteristics. Unlike any other product of the kind MPX2 it has neither integrated SCSI nor IDE RAID, nor LAN controllers. It is an AMD-760MPX based mainboard with two Socket A, four DDR DIMM slots for registered or unbuffered PC2100 DDR SDRAM, one AGP Pro, two PCI 64/66 and four PCI 32/33 slots.
Nonetheless, this mainboard is no absolute boredom. Iwill MPX2 is equipped with Iwill Processor Shelter technology that serves to protect the CPU from overheating, a three-phase CPU power stabilization circuit and ATX12V/EPS12V power supply connectors, which enable it to work with different power supply units.
