Will a 550E support SMP??

[Aso]

I know some of the early coppermines didnt support SMP and was wondering since I am upgrading my primary box to a 700@933 and I want to get a vp6 that if the 550e I am taking out would work in a SMP board if I picked up another 550e.

I'd check the S-code on your processor and if you have the cB0 stepping of the processor than you'll be able to run it in SMP. The older stepping had no support for SMP and you'll be out of luck then, just like I am with my PIII-700.

Here is the link where you can check the S-code: http://support.intel.com/support/processors/sspec/p3p.htm

Thanks for the link. Which shot the idea of going SMP 🙁 Oh well formulate a new plan

cB0 and cC0 will run smp. aC0 will run smp if its a slot 1 cpu but it won't if its fcpga.

I think you mean cA2 stepping 🙂
