|  Got an Athlon MP, is it any good. I aquired an Athlon MP 2200+ and i put it into my machine to test it, i didn't even think about O/Cing it on my MOBO but as soon as i turned my rig on i got nothing on the screen, NO BIOS beeps, no smoke. Could it just be possible my MOBO is not compatible with a Athlon MP or is the CPU toast. Drworm2005.

| Im not sure but the Athlon MP's are for servers. thats a server Processor.. The only desktop processors for AMD are X2, FX, 64, XP, and Sempron.. Look at the amd site: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...30_118,00.html hope this helps. |

| the MPs are socket A and yea they are mainly for servers. I think they were there before the opterons. Im not sure how/if the work alone though. Try testing in another motherboard?

 | My cousin has Dual Athlons MP's 2400+ 1gig of Crucial PC-3200(underclocked to pc-2100) 80gb IDE HD X800 Pro All nicely placed in a red vento case It is a nice computer but my single p4 beat his system out in a PCMARK04 benchmark. But his computer is still pretty speedy in programs that support SMP But they are meant for servers. but they work just as well for desktop uses. |

| But i thought an athlon MP is the same as an Athlon XP but it has been unlocked, therefore you can change the multiplier. I'm getting a Abit NF7-S Rev2.0 in the next few days so i'll try it in that and see what happens. Drworm2005.

| Yes, that is what i thought is was Athlon MP (Athlon Mobile Processor) i guess it is not the case. BUt like i said does anyone know if i can turn my Athlon XP into a mobile by unlocking it. Drworm2005.
