Applebred Duron as MP?

OK, got a little adventurous and tried one of the new Applebred core Duron 1800s in my Tyan S2466-4M dually. I'd connected the #3 L5 trace as depicted on numerous guides, but it seems to have no effect. I tried first by running a conductive trace between the dots, then filling the pit in the #3 position, but no effect.

On bootup, the Tyan sees it as a XP 2200+, proper VCore of 1.50. It's been running under load for the past five hours (FAH v4.0, Tinker core), no problems.

Ideas, anyone?
 
The pit in between that bridge (i'm not going to confirm if you have the right one or not, cause that'd be too much work ;D)
is covered slightly... What you want to do, is get a needle and stick the head of the pin in that pit and scratch it around a bit. When you see copper you know you're good to go. Put a little bit of conductive lacquer (or whatever it is you're using) in that pit, and then profit!

The new design of substrate is different than the old... those dots on the PCB aren't connected to anything anymore... You just scratch and fill! I hope this helps!
 
This should be in ether Strickly AMD or SMP btw...

As long as your Applebreds are unlocked, then you should have no problem SMP modding them. It's very easy to do with the new packaging. When I got my Applebreds when they came out all I had to do was fill in the L5 laser cut with silver conductive trace repair fluid. Then use a sewing neadle to poke around in there a little bit to make sure there is good contact. Thats it.
 
Thanks, that did the trick.

The S2466-4M now reports it as a "MP 2200+".

Old habits die hard, I was staying out of that pit for fear of shorting a ground plane layer, or whatever it was that kills Palomino-style CPUs.

Methinks Newegg gets another order shortly... ;)
 
I know how you feel, i took a good look at those bridges and had to ask on the forums first ;D
 
Aha, another dual Applebred. Well it was nice being the first one to try it. Glad it worked out for you. :)

Yes, it lives! The 'Egg dropped another 1800 on my doorstep, 2 minutes under the cheesy microscope (hey, 48 year old eyes don't work too good :rolleyes: ), clipped it into the S2466.

The first boot showed 2 MP 2200+ in the system, WinXP claimed to have found a new device and please reboot. On the second boot into XP, it had changed to the SMP HAL and now ran as a dually. Sometimes, Microsoft gets it right... :D Been four days now, running 2 instances of F@H3 night and day. Not one flippin' burp.

Life on the farm is good. :)
 
congrats :)

My bro is running 2x2400+ tbreds new PCB (as probably mentioned earlier in the thread)... Great value ;)
