Technical Question about PII processors

[Marcus Telcontar]

Blame the need to ask this on my mind just not thinking right today -

It used to be that you needed to have a special CPU for the second processor on a twin headed system. But for the life of me, I cant remember if the PII changed that - specifically, the PII 400. I know PIII's dont need the special second CPU type, cause I've done that before, but I just dont rememebr if PII's can do this, or if you need an S-marked one, like you had to have with earlier Pentiums.

P2s are mutli-cpu capable by default AFAIK.

P-MMX and classic were not. PPro took care of that.

Just make sure they're the same speed/core etc. It may or may not work. Duals usually work better when they come in a matched pair from the same binning.

Yeah, thats sounds right to me. In all these servers I've built and run, I've never done a twin PII, so wasn;t quite sure. Thansk :)
