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. Regards, C. J.

I'm wondering, too ;-)

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.

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. Good luck. Arun Khan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
Arun, Thanks a lot. Actually, my processor is already on its way here. So I'll wait till it gets here and try it out. Regards, C. J. Tan On Mon, 29 Jun 1998, Arun K. Khan wrote:
