Don't know about the XP2400s... but the XP-M 2500s (modded to MPs) are magic.

MP sytems are real good vaue for CPU limited tasks, but suffer from low memory bandwidth.

So it really depends on the application.

What MotherBoard are you using? Did you have any problems getting the XP's to work in place of the MP's?

Thanks for the input!
