The only difference is the L5 bridge is cut on XP's, also the bridge for the multiplier. Of course, once you mod them, you invalidate the warranty. I'm not sure if you've looked at an XP close up, if not you'll be surprised at the size of the bridges, they're tiny and you'll need to use a magnifying glass probably. To me it was worth the cost of buying MP's. I didn't need to mod them and have a full 3 year warranty. Which XP's did you get?

Got my new computer now, its not dual processor like I had hoped but here's its contents.

P4B533 Intel Motherboard
Intel P4 2.53 GHZ
1024 RAM
ATI Radeon 9700Pro 128 DDR
DVDRW Drive
Soundblast Audigy

It has itself some nice speed so far, but its a few days old so I'm just working her in.

For starters I'll just get the mobo, processors, heatsinks + fans 1GB RAM and a 431W PSU. Other pars I will take out from my current computer:
- The case
- Geforce 2 GTS DDR
- 30GB + 80GB HDs
- A CDRW drive
- SBLive!Value
- A Basic Pinnacle Firewire Card
- A HomePNA adapter
- Monitor, keyboard, mouse, wacom tablet, printer...

That's about it. Then I still have some leftover parts so I can build anothore comp using my current processor (overclocked celeron2 running @ 950MHz) but with less pheriperals. Man, where am I going to fit all this stuff user added image
