SMP and Processor Revision

Recommended Posts

i am running dual p2 400s, i get a strange message in my event viewer that says that there is some sort of performance thing about using two different revisions. like as if i was trying to run two cpus at different speeds. also, for some reason smp with quake3 still does not work? it should now, whats the deal, is that revision thing my problem?

If your CPUs are more that one stepping apart, then they're likely not to work correctly under SMP...

 

Intel has a page devoted to the CPU revisions that are "supported" for SMP use, but they're basically no more than one stepping apart...
