XP 1900+ MP vs XP 1900 desktop... which one

What are the major differance in XP CPUs? Is it better to go with XP MP unlocked or an XP desktop locked locked?
 
Performance wise, there is no difference between the two. They possess the exact same core. The MP chips are unlocked and have been verified for multi-processing.

MP is exactly that multi processing..............didnt know they were factory unlocked........food for thought

yepper exact same core but the mp does have 1 extra instruction that tells the mp chipset to varify mp capability.
i think that instruction is enabled by either a pin or one of the resistor packs in the chip.
and other than a slightly slower boot process both preforme exactly the same, with given that they both have the same clock rating.
the xp in dual setup has the same #'s that the mp does.
and the mp has the same #'s that the xp does in single setup.
so is it worth the price diff for and unlocked cpu that has one more instruction.
you decide.

Do you have a reliable source for this?
