No :-( But they do make SMP Pentium Pro servers (upto 4 CPU) with a 256 bit (4-way interleaved) memory bus and dual peered PCI buses (? - does it mean there are two PCI busses?). They can take either 166/200 PPros with 512K caches and also have Mylex RAID on boad. See the ZX 6000 servers :-) The ZX5000 Pentium boards can take upto 4 Pentiums + 1Mb cache per processor and have 128 bit 2-way interleaved memory. And no - I don't have such a box. And this isn't an ad. Compaq, IBM and HP have similar boards.
