I'm helping a bud fo mine put together his first duallie, and he's got coming in the mail;
MSI K7D Master-L
2x 1700+ T-Breds (don't know A/B yet)
512MB ECC Reg. PC2100 Crucial
Now...I've got the MSI myself, so I can help him tweak the BIOS as needed. I've read that the 1700+'s will drop right in and the multi's will be unlocked automatically.
My question has to do with enabling SMP on them. I know that closing the L5 bridge is what's required to enable SMP, but....;
Is there a way to enable SMP by putting a jumper wire in the CPU socket that is the equivalent of physically closing the bridge on the surface of the chip??
I had to do a similar trick with my 2100+ "B" on my Iwill XP333-R, to unlock the 5.5 to 12.5x multi's..drop a 1/4" long wire in the socket, connecting two pins. I was just wondering if there's a way to enable SMP by doing something similar...
TIA!!
