Athlon XP (not MP) dual?

You can setup a dual XP system as long as both processors have the L5 bridges unlocked. Within the past two months AMD has started to cut the L5 bridges on XP chips so that now they can not be used in dual setups. You can however unlock the L5 bridges using the same steps as "unlocking the multipliers" of an XP processor.
 
I didn't know that AMD was cutting the L5's.. damn them! Before it was that you were going to go without AMD support if you tried to run your machine in a SMP system with the XP, but it would still work and it cost less. Hmm I should look at my new 1900+ cpu.. I don't remember if it had the L5's pitted or not.
