Has anyone encountered this before? Currently, I have a PPro 200 256K Stepping 9 and I want to order another one, but I don't know if it'll be Stepping 9 as well or not. Regards, C. J.

I don't know of anybody who has tested it. I would assume: If you're lucky everything works fine. If you're unlucky, results are unpredictable. > Regards, > C. J.

Tan I have a system with 2 PPro 200 steppings 6 and 7 resp. and I bought both CPUs at the same time from the same vendor! However, the system works fine under WinNT as well as Linux 2.0.33. Try to get a CPU with stepping as close as possible to 9 (the existing one in your system). Or better yet you might try the forums at Intel's support site http://support.intel.com> before taking the plunge with the 2nd CPU. Good luck.

Actually, my processor is already on its way here. So I'll wait till it gets here and try it out. =20 Regards, C. J. Tan On Mon, 29 Jun 1998, Arun K.
