I put a link on this forum a few days ago, where AMD themselves state that the XP's will SMP. What this guy is saying, is that it was a mistake, and they will be fixing it. As far as unlocking it for overclocking purposes, that should be no problem. Just find out which bridge to reconnect. On October 14, 2001 at 20:50:26, K.
