I need help setting up a dual Athlon XP system...

[Staz]

I know Dual Athlon boards are designed for the MP CPU's, but I also know that people are able to get two XP CPU's to work on them. My question is how, which CPU do you recommend, and which board is best for this. I have a Antec TruePower 380W PS, is this enough? any suggestions would be great! Thanks in advance.

You might wanna do a google search on the subject. I know one of the bridges has to be connected to run XPs as MPs, and even then, its a crapshoot whether or not your XP will run as an MP. The boards all use the same chipset, 760MPX, so there really isnt too much difference from one to the next, other than features it supports (LAN, onboard sound, 64 bit PCI, etc). Antec is a good brand, but 380W may be pushing it. If you have an older video card and only one hard drive and one cd drive, you may be able to get away with that. I guess try it and see if it works with your MP setup, and if not, go ahead and order another PS.
