[gentoo-user] cat /proc/cpuinfo - Athlon XP or MP..?

[Stroller]

I've borrowed an Athlon CPU from my father, to test in a Tyan Tiger 
dual-proc board I have acquired. As far as i knew, this processor is a 
bog-standard Althon XP, but both the BIOS & `cat /proc/cpuinfo` show it 
as an MP.

The markings on the processor start with the letters "AX", which, 
according to this page 
<http://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4086>, indicates 
it's an MP. Do all Athlons show up as "MP" in /proc/cpuinfo, or could 
it be the case that this has been misbadged..?

Could be the board causing such an output..?

TIA for any comments,

Stroller.
