Hello,

I'm contemplating buying an SMP motherboard, now that SMP is a
"mainstream" feature of FreeBSD-Stable. 

I was wondering if it is possible to mix P2-types on an SMP motherborad
(I've got already a p2-266, and I would like to buy just an SMP
motherboard (perhaps an ASUS P2L-DS) and the cheapest p2 I can buy
today, which must be a p2-333)

I remember that you had to be very strict when running SMP-Pentiums
(sams mask level, same speed ....) Is it still the case for P2 ?

	TIA
