Ik kwam een aardig overzichtje tegen van de verschillende 760mpx Dual Athlon mobo's die (hopenlijk) op korte termijn verkrijgbaar zullen zijn:

Asus A7M266-D XP processor issue resolved

Turns out that the XP was disabled in the beta BIOS's for testing reasons. Now that BIOS 1005 is released they are detected and work fine in SMP. Sorry for my hypothetical pondering over what AMD was up to - turns out it was just motherboard manufactures being cautious with the beta boards running 'certified' MP's to ensure any reported problems are legitimate. Add to that the language barrier with Taiwan and things got mucked up. AMD will not allow MB manufactures to state their boards work with XP's in SMP mode, but the boards can support such opperation.

Interestingly enough I do have one XP-1900 out of 10 purchased that will NOT allow SMP to be active with XP blue screening on install. Replaced that CPU with another and everything was fine so there may be some advantage to buying MP's for servers and high end workstations. Running that single CPU alone also works fine so ovbiously something is fishy with the SMP support logic.

Best regards -- and merry Xmas!

Deze 'John' is dezelfde persoon die enige tijd geleden een bericht op het storagereview forum plaatste met de mededeling dat zijn A7M266-D moederbord het volgende bericht gaf wanneer hij twee AthlonXP CPU's gebruikte:

"AMD XP CCU detected - forcing single CCU mode"
