Will Athlon MP processors never ever be available in India ?
I contacted the local AMD office, and they told me it has reached end of life

I am now stranded in with a naked MSI -K7D-Master-L motherboard in hand which was rare here & I paid a fortune

Please tell me if I can atleast specially order the MP processors ..

I have no idea where you should be able to get it, but you can always import it (A bit expensive). A better idea should be modify an Athlon XP bridge to make it an Athlon MP or using underclocked Semprons that already are Multiprocessor capable, maybe someone else can help you more than I do with a Link about the Athlon XP bridge modifications, but at least now you know that you can replace Athlons MP with Athlons XP or Semprons

Try checking eBay, TigerDirect.com, pricewatch.com or newegg.com

I know the other day I seen a SWEET dual AMD motherboard and two 1900MPs with it >_<. That would be a good render box.

My first GOOD computer was an AMD K6 200Mhz. Ever since then i'm all about the AMD.

Semprons can run as a Duallie?!

For what I hear, they bring the bridge that allows multiprocessor operation activated, so you don't need to do a psychal modification to it like with an Athlon XP. However, keep in mind that all the Athlons MP runned at 266 MHz Bus while the Semprons runs at 333 MHz Bus, a Sempron will run but underclocked.

The MP bridge is closed and the bios on a non-MP board has been reconfigured to deduce MP = Sempron...simple firmware change...It is detailed in the Sempron datasheets...

You can run your board with Semprons...the best choice would be

opn = SDA3000DUT3D | 12.0 x 133 MHZ ~ 1600MHz
OPN = SDA2800DUT3D | 12.0 x 133 MHz ~ 1600MHz

The 3000+ has the 512K L2, while the 2800+ has only 256K L2...

It has been done and it works...A poster on another forum I visit has done this.

All Socket A processors are being filtered out of the market. From now on it is Socket 939 for mainstream and performance, Socket 754 for value, and Socket 940 for server.

I got very good idea about microprocessor and socket....
