Neither FreeBSD nor NetBSD supports dual Alphas. For this you need Tru64
UNIX, which, with its microkernel, can support any size cluster and will
soon be running the biggest supercomputer in the world.

What are you doing that one Alpha processor is not enough? Not many people
need that kind of speed, and the developers probably do not feel any
urgent need to develop SMP for FreeBSD Alpha.
