AthlonMP in a single processor mobo

[kreno]

Hey all, I was wondering if it is possible to run an AthlonMP in a single processor based motherboard. Non AMD based. Reason I ask about this is that currently the highest processor I have been able to find in a 266MHz FSB was the AthlonXP 2600+ and then realized that the 2800+ MP was available in a 266MHz FSB. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance guys

Nobody knows?

you can do it. an MP is fairly close to an XP.

oh wait...

Non AMD based

what do you mean by that?

right, and also - if you get the XP2600+, you can overclock it just that tad to 2800+ speeds, and you'll have a little bit more effective FSB (probably around like 290mhz FSB) for the proc, so it'll work better. as long as your mobo will handle that extra 10-15 fsb through the northbridge.

in theory an MP is just an xp certified to run in multiple cpu configurations.....The question may be if the mobo has support for a high enough multiplier....
