Dual AMD XP?

[Baldy18]

Will thorougbred XP processors work in a dual processor configuration?

What modifications need to be done to them to make this so and how would you accomplish those modifications?

[EDIT] Almost forgot this would be using an Asus A7M266-D(L?) mobo.

I've got the same board and a pair of xp1600's @ 162fsb 1701mhz, Works perfectly and no crazy glue or gap filler needed, doesnt matter if it grounds out.

Here enjoy
Good luck http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/articles.hwz?cid=2&aid=393&page=3

Ok so palaminos will work but back to my questions what about thoroughbreds?

Sorry I don't have the answer to your question. I'm also interested in knowing if my ASUS dual cpu motherboard can use XP Thoroughbreds. Connecting the last bridge of L5 will enable the dual cpu mode of XP. Don't know if it's true with Thoroughbreds.

does that board support tbreds?
if it does, it probably will run in dual, maybe a bios flash would be needed

The problem with your question is that no one here can guarantee their ability to work on way or another. XPs aren't supposed to be used for dual operation, and therefore they are not tested to work like that. However, most of them seem to work properly without running tests. You can try your luck, but I would buy an MP variation to make sure. I do beleive your chance of success is greater than failure in this situation.

I have read that connecting the fourth L5 bridge on a Thoroughbred will allow the XP to run as an MP.
Here is the story. Peace.
