Someone told me that ASUS A7M266-D supports dual Athlon XP on it, just like Athlon MP does. Is it the true? Could anyone has tried such configuration before and workable?

All AMD MP & MPX boards currently in circulation have been shown to support (read run perfectly) dual Athlon XPs. I have not read one single supportable statement to suggest otherwise.

Neither AMD, nor the mobo manufacturer will warranty or support such a configuration. Functionally the CPUs are identical, however AMD neither test, nor warranty MP functionality in non-MP chips.

It is possible in the future that a BIOS release _could_ correct this - but so far not.
