Hey folks,
I got 2 * Pentium II's 233Mhz, yes, I know they are extremely ancient now.
The question I wanted to ask is, I'm running them in SMP mode, but I wanted to know if the stepping makes a difference. They are not a matched pair, SL264 on one of them and SL2QA on the other..
When running different stepping numbers in parallel or one being an OEM one being a retail, does it make a difference? Windows 2003 Server does recognise it as a Multiprocessor machine but in general does it make a difference? I keep hearing a matched pair is what I need.
Thanks in advance guys.
Any help or advice is much appreciaited.
