Modding The Barton XP To A Barton MP

Posted by timothy on from the who-needs-a-warranty dept.

  1. You've slain the processor. You get 10 XP and 5 GP by InvaderSkooge · · Score: 5, Funny

    Personally, I'm holding out for a mod that lets me turn my Barton XP into a Barton GP, because I really want to buy that next armor class.

  2. hardware fix by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    My hardware fix for today has already been met by slashdot. ATI 9800, dual proc barton (3000+'s of course), and all the additional parts to support it all (gotta have a gig of memory, fans and heatsinks galore, cool case mods to make it all the more cool-looking, 500W power source, gotta throw in the audigy 2). If only I had a lot of money and a lot of time on my hands....but instead i'm a broke slashdotter.

    Boy, some guys sure have a death wish... I mean what else can explain a person posting a story, hosted on his own website, on slashdot?

  4. No an alternative by Simon+Lyngshede · · Score: 2, Funny

    They want to use multiple cpu as an alternative to an Opteron ? Sorry but two 32 bit processors isn't really the same as one 64bit.
