WTB: old cpus

Athlon MP 1600+

Usually in this situation I'd rattle something off about modding bridges, etc. to get what you want working. As a general rule Athlon XPs could be converted to MPs by modding bridges. I had a couple "Barton" MPs for a while. AMD never released an MP version of the Barton chips, but you could hack the bridges on the PCB and turn a Barton with the 512K cache into an MP.

That said, you're trying to collect a specific set of chips. So me babbling about hack upgrades probably doesn't help.
 
I built a p3750 with a slocket for my inlaws way back in the day. next time I'm over there I'll see if they still have it in a closet or something. Probably not but they might.
 
Good luck getting your CPUs, I just wanted to share this:

Don't mind the dust. This is a little bit of art I put on the wall years back; the series of CPUs I first used in my builds. From the top, left to right, 286, 486, Cyrix 6x86 (the first one *I* bought and built- my dad bought the first two), AMD K6-2, Intel Celeron 300A (OC'd to 450 of course), Intel P3-800, AMD Athlon, Barton 2500XP, A64 3200+, A64 X2 5600+. Oh and I color coded the paint to the primary color for the manufacturer. AMD changed from green to red at some point.

Obviously they're not *the* CPUs I had, but they're the same models.
