Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-smp@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello. I want to get a Dual celeron going with freebsd as the OS. My question is, do the chips have to have the same stepping? I read somewhere that if the chips do NOT have the same stepping, it screws up, and causes blue screens in NT, and i was wondering if anything similar happens in FreeBSD. I figure it'll be difficult to get 2 celerons with the same stepping. I am just planning on getting 2 retial ppga celeron 433's. I read somewhere else that "it was just a myth and the processors do NOT have to have the same stepping." so i'm just searching for the truth. Thanks.
