Paint Yourself An Athlon MP

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the conductive-paint-that-is dept.

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.

    What with a new version of SuSE and now this.
    Looks like it's time for a new rig. I'll get:
    • Two XPs
    • SuSE 8.0
    • And now floppy drive
    • Clear case
    • Perhaps a liquid cooling system.
      What would be really cool is if you had clear tubes
      and a special die in the water that changed colors by temperature.
    • I'm definitely getting those drive windows.

      How much coolant does a normal cooling system need? You see, I'm planning on making a very 31337 goth mod for my Quake-machine so that it uses blood as coolant, and I need to know when to stop draining my vein...

    I find it difficult to believe that I'm explaining this, but "Anonymous Coward" means....... oh, nevermind.

    OT but what the hell - see my post up there? Does it actually have my NAME on it or is it instead using a "handle" by which I can post, maintain some sort of "rep", and yet still keep my true name and employer hidden?

    Oh wait, why am I explaining anything to an AC (rolleyes).
