The A64 (non FX) are definately NOT supposed to run in dual (or more) mode.

The new design of the chip (hypertransport based instead of FSB) means that a little bridge mod won't solve this. The only other hope is that the FX chips (since they are 940 pin just like the Opterons) have all 3 hypertransports still intact.

There is a possibility that you could get Opteron 1XX chips (cheaper than 2XX) and mod them to work in 2P or 8P modes. That would save alot of money.
