Here’s a way of modding your old Athlon XP Desktop CPU to Equivalent Athlon MP CPU :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

http://www.livepublishing.co.uk/pcextreme/page_316.shtml

The possible use i can think of this modding is:

  • Desktop Athlon XP Multiplier Adjustments on the fly from Windows using a suitable program like CPUMSR
  • If you can arrange a server motherboard with support for Dual Chips like AMD 760MPX, you can use two of these CPU, to build an extremely fast machine at fraction of cost :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
  • It will increase your resale value of your old AthlonXP CPU :wink:

well…one of our members tried it on his sempreon…dunno the result :face_with_tongue:

increase the resale value…hmm…already many ppl have been duped by the fake 3200+, so they will be uber aware of these mods :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Yeah, normal ink isn’t supposed to be conductive. Best of luck with modding with pencil :slight_smile:
BTW are you sure this moddin works with the Sempron Series, 'cause i’ve read somewhere, that AMD was thinking of disabling this SMP feature in latter models of Athlon XP and which mobo are u using guru, 'cause all mobo’s don’t support AthlonMP, so better make sure u’ve got the right one.

MP?? who’s modding it into an MP?? :face_with_tongue:

he’s modding it into a mobile :face_with_tongue: MP = multiprocessors :face_with_tongue:

mobile = unlocked multipliers, helps in ocing.

aren’t these two MODs kinda the same, this another guide uses the same trick,ie modifying the L5 bridge, to create a “Mobile Athlon MP” :joy:
