Well, I can't help you with that, except to say that for ANY SMP
system, *both* processors need to be the same type, stepping and
speed. There are some exceptions to that, which you'll find on
Intel's web site. However, for maximum performance, you need to make
sure that both processors are as close to identical as possible,
preferably even to sequential serial numbers (although that really
doesn't matter, it's a good way to make sure that both processors are
the same! <G>)
