Paint Yourself An Athlon MP
SNIa asks: "How many people are checking the prices of AMD chips after seeing this?" and points out this article at HardwareZone.com about modifying Athlon XP processors to perform like MPs. No guarantees, except a voided warranty.

Being Friday, maybe the thought of getting layed enhanced his sense of humor...
For a while I thought it was like the Pentium III...

now how do you get an athlon XP chip to act as a MP chip? just paint it up so it thinks it's an MP chip.
You want me to put make-up on my CPU? What's next? a pink leotard and a tutu?

Nice troll, dude. Hats off to ya.
People: If both MP and XP have the same core (very likely), they will perform equally well in the MP configuration.
Fried CPU because of this? Don't make me laugh. You have worked for 6 years for AMD the same way I worked for NASA in the Apollo Project.
duh.

I too have worked in the R&D department at AMD. I was in charge of the toilets on the 2nd floor, does that make me a chip-mod expert too?
