Is there an example of commutative von Neumann regular ring which has more than 2 prime ideals?

Matrix rings are not commutative so I couldn't find any, please help.

It is well-known that the quotient of a commutative ring by is nilradical is absolutely flat if and only if every prime ideal is maximal(Bourbaki, Commutative Algebra, Ch. II Localisation, §4, exercise 16 d) – in other words, a reduced ring is absolutely flat if and only if it has Krull dimension $0$.

Therefore a product of more than $2$ copies of a field provides such an example.
