can you use bartons on a dual cpu board?

[cow123]

yeah i know the chipset is too old for the 166fsb but what about changing mult so it has 133fsb but same frequency?

You can use the AXP Barton's an the AMD760MP(X) chipsets without issue, providing you drop the FSB to 133MHz.
Whether the individual motherboard supports AthlonXP's is the only real factor preventing usage, and by and large almost all SMP boards have provides BIOS support for the AthlonXP.

FWIW, the AthlonMP 2800+ is also based on the Barton core clocked at 2.13GHz.

Which dual motherboard are you using? If it is the older Tyan 2460 Tiger MP, you might have power related problems.

I plan on finding out!! I have a Tiger MP, did the ATX Mod to supply more power.. I want to get a couple of bartons running at MP 2800 Speed (2.13Ghz). I don't plan on modding the procs.. I am going to give These XP-TMC Barton Adapters a try..

Hopefully I can do this early late next week. I need to figure out which bartons to get (asked that question here..)
