>Anything that is compliant with the "Intel MP-spec" should be OK. Bill's problem, I think, is that he bought a dual-pentium motherboard... and it turns out that the machine will only accept two processors if they're both at the same stepping, and he can't run them at higher than 120MHz (I think it was). When he bought the system, however, he asked if he could just get a second processor, and they told him yes, even though he was buying it with a 133MHz processor... Bill should tell us the manufacturer and model, so that can be known as a Known Problem Motherboard. Sean.
