Athlon MP 0.13 Micron Architecture?
This is a discussion about Athlon MP 0.13 Micron Architecture? in the Windows Hardware category; Im gonna buy a dual athlon mp system and was wondering if the 2200+ Athlon MP is 0. 13 or not? and also if there is a 2400+ or above out yet? Thanx guyz.

I believe all of the Athlon XP/MP series processors are currently manufactured based upon the 0.13 micron process.
OP
The 1700+/1800+/1900+ XP's are definatley under 0.18 micron, i dont know wther AMD changed to 0.13 at 2000+ or something?
From what I have been told be at least 10 people now is that XP cpus will do multi-processing but are not certified. MP processors ARE certified for mp environments. You technically could use two XP cpus on a dual board. I don't know what the outcome is though...
the MP CPU is just an XP CPU with its L5 bridges joint!
All you have to do with an Athlon XP is to join he L5 bridges!

Anyone know of a tutorial/How to online that shows you getting 2 Athlon Xp's Dualing?
From what I have heard you just put them both on a dual board and in the bios make sure (if avail.) that the option to identify the cpus for MP is enabled.
There's a video on Tom's Hardware that shows how to join the L5 bridges, thereby unlocking the multiplier. I do not know if this also enables the XP processor to be used MP.
What's the point of unlocking the Multiplier, aside to OC? The last thing you want is 2 unstable CPUs.
Supposedly, by joining the L5 bridges, this allows the bios to detect the board as a MP processor.

I've never heard this, and highly doubt it's true.

If I enable the MP ID Detect in my BIOS on my old Epox board it detects it (cpu) from there and in Windows as an MP and not an XP.
What board model and BIOS revision do you have?
I am at work but I believe it is the Epox 8K7A+, not sure on the Rev. But it was at the latest bios last time I checked (6 months ago). Although it is not a dual board, it still detected my XP 1800+ as an MP1800+ with just one flick of the bios option.
OP
If the Asus A7M266-D motherbaord can handle a single Athlon XP2400+ it should see 2 as MP2400+ if i get these unlocked?
Anyone know of a better board that will see it as an MP instead of XP with one setting change? Id rather buy a board that definatley can see xp as mp and spend a few pound more.

Come on guys THINK!!!
L1 bridges are for Multiplier unlocking!!!
L5 bridges are for MP's.
The athlon XP IS the Athlon MP without the L5 bridges joined.
uts have a look for a tutorial.
If you connect L5 bridges the CPU will NOT become unlocked.

In my last post i ment by unlocking the XP's to MP capable by connecting the L5 Bridge.
