AMD makes the MP chips that are designed for dual CPU mobo's. But I've never heard of them not working in a single set-up.

(Someone correct me if I'm wrong) But I don't think I am.

I could not find anything that said it will not work, one site(link below)says there basically identical XP vs. MP saying the MP's are registered or guarranteed to fly with dual setup.
