Generally if they are step 7 or later, they will work together, and it
will be real hard to find anything but step 9's, unless its some reused
chips.. (I'd love to get my hands on two old 166Mhz/512K cpu's :))

I've run a TYAN S1662D with a 200 and a 180 CPU for 4 month, now it
is two 180 running at 200 (the 200 is running 233 in a UP system).
Prices here in DK land are "somewhat" lower for the 200/256K about $300,
they are dropping prices on the PPro's right now as intel would like
you to buy a crippled PPro aka PII...
