Is Athlon XP SMP?

[rep_stosd]

Hello:
Will we be able to use the new 1800+ in a dual configuration with the Tyan boards (or others when they come out)? Has anyone done this yet? Thanks

The XP are not officially SMP capable, but AMD is releasing a 1800+ version of the MP today I believe.

yes, it was released, performs quite well in progs which run well on dual processors (98% increase over a single 1800+ XP in one case!!!) but for the likes of high resolution quake 3 and the like the single chip tends to exceed the performance of the MP

if in doubt blame microsoft...

Where did you see that? I didn't think there were any reviews out yet.

The MP performs horribly compared to the XP in many cases! Go for a single processor system, b/c with the Tyan, any app that doesn't support multiple processors won't perform as well.

U got a problem?! Then dial 1800-328-7448!

Flame that is pretty common in SMP systems. It really depends on your needs as to whether a duallie is right for you. Even if performance is *hit* in some apps, if those apps aren't being used on the system, the user won't notice it. BUT, the user will notice that that 3D rendering program works WAY fast!

When all else fails, throw your computer out the window!!!
