Dual PIII requirement...

[flippo]

Hi all,
I want to know if I want to build dual PIII FC-PGA and don't want to overclocked it(well maybe a little), should I buy the cB0/cC0 stepping ? or I can just buy any PIII FC-PGA proc as long as the stepping is same ?

Thanks
Eric

For a dual setup without overclocking, a cBO should be fine, cCO gives much better yields in overclocking though. Anyways I would buy CPU's from the same batch if it is possible. That way you won't run into any compatability issues.

So, if I don't want to overclock, can I use 2 cA2 stepping processor ?

CA2 are NOT dual enable.

oh.. okay .. I got it now..
Thanks for all responds..
I'm going to get cB0 or cC0 stepping.

cA2 will work in dual processor configurations, but are not supported by intel. You're better off with a cB0 or higher, in case you run into a problem.
