Just tried swapping various combinations of processors (we have 2 of
the machines) and I get the exact same result. All 4 processors tested
are PII-266's and there are 2 pairs with each pair from the same
manufacturer and only slight differing serial numbers.

I can't find anything in the Compaq setup that allows me to adjust
SMP/processor attributes.

Thanks for the info.
