I have two Dual boards and have run SMP under NT for some time. On the boards that I have, you can't set the processors at different speeds. There is one speed selection. I think the processors would have all sorts of problems if you were able to set them to different speeds. I think you have two choices. Run both processors at 233MHz. This is the safest option. Overclock the 233MHz processor to some higher speed. I doubt it will go from 233 to 366. I have heard of some insane over clocking. For me, reliability is too much of an issue to over clock. I haven't heard of a PII-366. Is this a celeron, by chance. There is another issue with SMP. Go to Intel's web site. Much to my surprise, not all PII-XXXs are equal. You have to look for a compatible step of the processor. I.e. A PII-450 step 1 may not be SMP compatible with a PII-450 step 3. When I bought mine, I bought a singe PII-300. Later, I couldn't get an SMP compatible PII-300 so I had to move up to a PII-333 to go SMP. For this reason, I would strongly suggest anyone thinking about getting a dual MB either get two processors when you buy the MB or save $$$ and get a single MB with a better processor. Note this is based on my experience with Asus and Soyo MB running Intel. I don't know anything about SMP with non-Intel processors. I would really like to hear about dual Athlons ! paul > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe > [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null > >
