i too am very interested in this. so far we know that the xp is physically different than the t-bird. and the xp might not be an mp. just like the t-bird was not an mp even though some of the non-mp processors would work in the dual tyan mb. the higher mhz mp should be released this week or next week. it seems the new mp will be the same mhz as the new xp. kinda taking a chance if we order the new xp 1530 mhz at $225 each. now that would be $550, and maybe they will work and maybe not. below is a quote from amdmotherboard.com. also two good sites for info. I also can tell from reading the discussions in the AMD Forums that people are wondering if they can use the Athlon XP processors in any of the current dual-Athlon motherboards (that would be the Tyan Thunder K7 and the Tyan Tiger MP boards). The debate has almost the exact same answer as it did before the release of the Athlon XP – and that is "maybe." Though the XP and MP processors are probably the exact same processor, AMD refuses to officially support either the Thunderbird or XP processors in a multiple processor system. Anyone who has or wants to use the official MP chips in a dual board won’t have to wait very much longer for the needed speed increase for the Athlon MP processors. They will be using a similar packaging and market setup as the XP and should be available within a week or so. http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=124 http://athlonxp.amd.com/ kburcham On October 10, 2001 at 08:18:55, Slater Wold wrote: >On October 10, 2001 at 04:13:43, Jonas Cohonas wrote: > >>Is the new XP series from AMD capable of SMP like the Athlon MP? >>Will it run as a dual system using the Tiger MP? >> >>Regards >>Jonas > >From what I understand, NO. > > > >Slate
