I read where one fellow had a PR440FX board running with the chip but
I can't remember if it was single or SMP mode.  At the time the 
1mb chip was over $600.00 so I wasn't interested.  I don't know
if there is a mobo available that will run the chip let alone 
a dual cpu unit.
I agree with other responders that unless someone has some means
of proving that the 1mb is being utilized you don't know whether
or not there is any advantage to using one.
