at the same time?
Ans:No, you can't. You may only use a single processor of either
socket or slot type on the Twin Processor mainboard.
Q11.Which
models come with Twin Processor Design?
Ans:Currently, we have 810DM, 810DX, 810DMC, 810DTC, DIBX2+,
DIBX4 hav Twin Processor Design.
Q12.What
is AMR?
Ans:AMR means Audio / Modem Riser. It's for modem purpose. Intel
810 chipset has a modem capability built into the chip. By placing the sensitive
analog components on a riser, higher audio quality and easier modem certification
