    Ahtlon XP in Dual MP board?

    It's been a few years, but I remember reading how you could mod two Athlon XP CPU's and use them in a board design for MP's. Does anyone know hope to do this?

    You have to short an L bridge on Athlon pcb so the motherboard recognizes it as a Athlon MP cpu: the exact bridge depends on Athlon core revision. I think it's better explained on Cpumsr tricks page and Fab51.
    If you wants to have two cpus running, then be sure they're identical - same core, same frequency. Same revision isn't strictly required but may help avoid exceptional issues turning into lockups.

      google l bridge modding.
      i did a bunch of it years back but a bit rusty now.
      there are l bridge combinations to denote athlon,duron,mobile,mp,and a few other setups.

        Buy two semprons 3000+'s...

        They are rebadged MP's...

        If you put them in a Dual MP board they come up as MP1900+'s...

        Better yet get two XP-M 3000+ processors and close the MP bridge...

        16.5x133.33 goodness!
        Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?

          I already have two 1600+'s. It's odd because I found the second one in a curbside computer after a flood. It works and all that thou! =D

          Thanks you all for the replies also.
