That's BS. I have here next to me a quad pentium Pro ALR box, and although at the moment it only has 2 CPUs (PPro 166 512K oc'd to 200) I have run it with 1, 2, 3, and 4 processors. Works Great. My only complaint is that it must have (for performance better than EDO) memory added 8 simms at a time, and FPM parity simms (the only thing it takes) are about 2x SDRAM prices.
It is cool, it has 7 PCI slots (2 independant PCI buses) 5 EISA, Two (2) 550watt power supplies [works fine if one fails, other than an annoying beeper] 6 slot SCA (hot swap [almost] SCSI slots).
The whole thing is a rack mount and has 9 big fans.
An interesting thing is the CPU clock jumpers, it allows you to clock a pentium pro at anything up to 366Mhz. I have had no trouble running 4 ppro 166's at 266 Mhz, but I normally run at 200. (800 bogomips) I would love to try 4 PentiumPro Overdrive chips in it (333Mhz Xeon that fits socket 8)
