It's been a few years, but I remember reading how you could mod two Athlon XP CPU's and use them in a board design for MP's. Does anyone know hope to do this?

Re: Ahtlon XP in Dual MP board?
You have to short an L bridge on Athlon pcb so the motherboard recognizes it as a Athlon MP cpu: the exact bridge depends on Athlon core revision. I think it's better explained on Cpumsr tricks page and Fab51.
If you wants to have two cpus running, then be sure they're identical - same core, same frequency. Same revision isn't strictly required but may help avoid exceptional issues turning into lockups.

Buy two semprons 3000+'s...
They are rebadged MP's...
If you put them in a Dual MP board they come up as MP1900+'s...
Better yet get two XP-M 3000+ processors and close the MP bridge...
16.5x133.33 goodness!Ya'll think us folk from the country's real funny-like, dontcha?
