I bought two new 750's from Dell with the expressed intent of upgrading
this machine to dual CPU's. I've assumed that Dell knows what they're
doing (naive), but I can double check with them. The system boots and
runs fine, only one processor.
The motherboard apparently has no jumpers to set, just a place-holder card
in the slot for the second processor.
I also suspect it's a hardware problem. Next week, I might be able to free
up a dual 550 box that SMP works on and swap the 550's for the 750's and
see what breaks.
Thanks, John
