Ahh, I see...

You really should look into a Athlon MP instead of an XP. MP's were designed for servers and such.

the multi chip support is the only thing different about them, i actually modded a pair of thoroughbred-b's into mp's once, it's only a pair of bridges that need joining, everything else about the chips is identical
the point is however, is there would be absolutely no benefit to the swap whatsoever

It's only a small change, 3991. The MP's are just a small minute core feature that is enabled.

You can take "anything" that's Tbred-B/Barton (Sempron's AND Athlons) based and with a small bridge mod you can put 2 of them together in a dual socket motherboard that supports it's rated FSB.

Guess something got locked in the BIOS, to where it won't reset even after clearing CMOS. I need a new BIOS for the board. [sarcasm]Yee haw![/sarcasm]

Just rebuilt my old Athlon XP rig :D

Athlon XP 2600, 1Gb DDR400, ATi Radeon 9600LE.

Just bought an Antec NSK4000 case and it's frigging awesome. Seriously it's the best case I've ever bought for less than £50 (it was less than £20 lol).

I'm sorry to tell you I will no longer be using any socket A machines as of this time next week. This sucker is going straight on eBay as soon as my last bits for my 'new' rig get here.

It got deleted? Bugger. Oh well, a new one is all good. I'd have joined earlier but I've not been around these forums much in the last couple of weeks, had weekends away and then I got sick and yeah, my life is pretty hectic right now. By my standards anyway. But yeah, sign me up again.

I'm selling my socket A machine soon (and my other one for that matter), disappointing to see it go but I need all the cash I can get before I leave the country. I'd do a for sale thread on here but it's not worth the shipping charges for you guys to buy from me!
