I am wondering what will happen if I were to put in two processors which are of different stepping into a multiprocessor machine. 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.

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 <A HREF="http://support.intel.com"><A HREF="http://support.intel.com</A">http://support.intel.com before taking the plunge with the 2nd CPU.
