The problem is that BIOS can >simply disable using XP processors. Not true. I had a Tyan S2460 and used both 2 Thunderbird (1.4Ghz) CPUs, and 2 XP (1.53Ghz) CPUs. Never had a problem. When I upgraded to the XP2100s, they would NOT work in the Asus mobo I had bought (or the Tyan). I had to modify the CPUs, and now they work fine. The BIOS even reports them as AMD MP CPUs. >I had the problems with my motherboard after buying it. But when I changed >memory to registered DDR all became excellent. You _HAVE_ to use registered memory with ALL dual AMD systems. It's not an option. They don't have to be ECC, but they DO have to be registered. >Victor
