Check out the Asus A7M266-D you'll have to use Athlon MPs, I don't think you can use multi XPs on anything.

you can use dual XP's, but you jave to connect the l1's or l2's (forgot). It is really cheap to get 2 xp1600's fron newegg, a single mp would prolly cost more than the two combined

u have a hot girl in ure engineering class? hell i saw like 2 girls ever in mine and god knows they werent even thinking about the remote possibility of pretending to be mediocre much less hot...

Cool man good luck with the hottie.

XP's can do dual but I wouldn't risk it, Get a couple of MP's and either the ASUS or the IWill Dualie boards.

Xp's in DUAL is a definite NO-GO in my book... go for the MP's, I doubt she'd loose any performance in that..... otherwise you can always tune her up..... I mean... tune it up

Here is an article that will show you how to EASILY mod an XP to make it run in Dual mode, then you can use any dual socket A motherboard...

Recommendation:

MSI K7D Master L

2 x MP 1800+ (for warranty)

-or-

2 x XP 1600+ (mod the L5, read faqs in SMP forum)

512 MB DDR PC2100 Registered Crucial (If she has the money 1 GB should do, just get a 1 GB stick if possible, should be cheaper than 2 x 512 MB sticks)

You really cant go wrong with K7D Master L, as it has a built in LAN (frees PCI slots for any extra cards she may need).

Hope this helps...

thanks guys i owe you all a cold one

 

[filip04]

i'd personally stay on the safe side and go with the mp's...

i wouldn't risk modding it... unless.. you want her to come back to you crying to fix it cuz it doesn't work... LOL... hehe

the MSI K7D is the probobly the best board out there atm for dual AMD action (this is the one i'd get)

head over the the SMP, you;ll get much better advice. The best deal would be find a K7D master, non L preferably (cheaper) and only difference is no onboard LAN (save 30 bucks and spend 5 on a LAN card). XP's are easy to enable to do MP. Show her what it involves and if you don't have the tools or havn't done it then I wouldn't risk it on someone elses CPU, but if you've done it before it's much easier then doing L1's.
