some things yes, some things no...  in general its a win.

there is some possibility that
the P-90 (I assumme you mean P5-90) will be a problem.  That vintage
of P5 is from the days when the APIC section was somewhat unstable, and
often required a "matched pair" of CPUs, ie 2 from the same stepping
and rev level.
