Upgrading MP1200s

[hiker]

I am thinking of upgrading the CPUs in my SOHO server - the mobo is Tyan 2460 Dual Athlon MP1200s
Is there an Athlon upgrade which suits?

thanks in advance

From <A HREF="http://www.tyan.com/support/html/cpu_athlon_duron_opteron.html" target="_new">tyan's cpu support page</A>, it would seem you can upgrade your dual athlon setup to up to a dual 1900+ rig. This upgrade will cost you, according to <A HREF="http://www.pricewatch.com/" target="_new">pricewatch</A>, around $150, $75 for each processor.

Unfortunately, the Tiger MP is limited in terms of upgradability, because this is <i>the only one</i> of the Athlon MP mobos from Tyan that doesn't support the whole MP lineup (up to 2800+). (sorry for the bad news)...
