Is their Any review of dual bartons? has anyone tried them? Getting itchy about upgrading - my current mobo / cpu is a p4b533 + p41.4m @ 215fsb. I am considering either the 2.4 / 2.6 p4's with HT in this mobo or putting my current cpu into a canterwood board. Alternatively I might go dual in which case I would get the 760mpx and 2500+ cpu's

None that i know of, but 2 main reasons why not
1) the 760mpx cannot do the 333fsb, all bartons run at the 333fsb
2) AMD fix the Athlon XP line as to not work in dual boards anymore.

Also worth mentioning, AMD may want to save it's higher-end dual proc setups for the 64bit arena, where more money would likely be made should this happen. Of course, that's just my guess. The bottom line is that I don't think there will be a chipset update for a dual Barton system. I could be wrong about that.

Bridges can be made :D

The XP's all work in the 760 board again with bridge cutting.
