PT, Re: "I cannot recall ever seeing information on the ceramic packaging breaking." I used to visit some of the overclocker forums, and the brittle AMD ceramic packaging was a big problem for many users who like to install custom heat sinks. Apparently, it's pretty easy to destroy the core of the ceramic package. The organic one is supposed to be better. Re: "In testing a die for MP suitability, could this be done prior to packaging?" I seriously doubt that the MP silicon is at all different from the XP silicon. What could there possibly be, then, that would prohibit DP capability in "some" of the XP units, but not all. Haven't tests shown that you can use the Athlon XP in dual CPU systems? If someone is going to complain about Intel selling their mobile CPUs for a premium, maybe they ought to investigate whether AMD has any right to sell the Athlon MP for a premium over the Athlon XP. wbmw
