WARNING: | 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... It should probably be identical to the first processor. You should look at the Intel WWW site. Some Pentiums are not SMP capable.
