What exactly is the difference between Athlon MP and XP processors?

I have a 1.4G TBird (133 FSB), which I believe is an Athlon-C processor, right? With the new Palomino core coming out, I am wondering what's the difference between the MP and XP class Athlon processors?
 
No difference except the MP does not have a locked multiplier while XP does. So it's more difficult to overclock the XP, because you'll have to play more with FSB rather than with the multiplier.

This came from a reliable hardware site (don't remember the name), so you can believe it 🙂

The core of the XP/MP is the same.
