Usually when I set up duel cpu systems the customer gets 2 cpus. In this case they did not, and now want to add another. The first is a P 3- 800/133.

1. Do I have to have the same stepping for this to work reliable?

2. In windows 2000 server are second processors automatically recognized, and if not, what do I need to do to make it so.

it is recommended that the same steping be used when setting up a dual cpu system, however i have heard it is not essental but if you can find one of the same stepping i would go for it over a different one.
