MP OR XP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bdww00]

i have 1800 mp at 1.4/1.5 ghz
is it better than a reg. 1800 athlon xp?? or if its even xp
is the mp like the opteron of today larger cache and slightly lower temps and higher reliablity

this is a single processor computer

I thought they are mobile processors. Runs cooler and overlocks higher.

 

[sgtBaker]

The mp is made for mobile computers(laptops) the xp is for desktops.I also think the mp runs at lower voltage.I heard it overclocks good.

For the most thing MPs are exactly the same as XPs, only MPs can run in dual configuration and positioned toward workstation/server market, while XP is for single CPU desktop systems..

They have same ammount a cache, but MPs could be slightly more reliable because, I think, they are/were tested more rigorously.

sgtBaker: you're thinking of XP-Ms or XP Mobiles: these have lower vcores and unlocked multipliers, and can overclock better than their desktop counterparts.

For a single cpu system, your MP will run identically to an XP. The only difference is that MP are made to support multiprocessor systems. Find a review of an XP 1800+. Anand has one here: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=1543&p=1

are the mp's multi unlocked??? hmm might have to try this in my ocing board its on a reg. no bios settings nf2 board hmm wonder max i could get out of it on 333 mhz ram

 

[bdww00]

so if i have an nf2 board it should run faster than those kt266's or w/e old ass boards those are lol wow im glad to see that giving to my pap's he should like it and it seems better than his current compuiter 733 mhz 20gb 256+32 mb and intel grphx
this one
athlon 1800mp
512 266mhz dual channel!
60gb maxtor
and gf4 64mb or w.e's on nf2 boards

Yes, NF2 should be slightly faster than KT266. I don't know if the MP's are unlocked or not. I believe it's a Palomino core running at 1.53 ghz, so I would imagine its peak OC is somewhere around 1.65-1.7 ghz or so.
