I haven't tried it on the A7V266 series, but it works on
the A7N266 series. On the A7N266, the BIOS does not
report the name of the MP2800+ correctly, but does report
the correct speed. Running WCPUID on such a setup correctly
reports the name, clock, multiplier, cache sizes, etc.
The naming/reporting capabilities of the BIOS is probably
all that would be amiss on an A7V266 - the BIOS manufacturers
simply never expected people to use MP processors on anything
but a dualie motherboard with a dualie chipset.
There is really no difference between the XP and the MP except
that former has the L5 bridge open while the latter has it closed,
and the MPs have been tested to verify that they work in pairs.
