Hello,

I want to upgrade my Asus P2B-D PII-400 system from single to dual CPU.
However I purchased my 1st CPU more than 1 year ago, and it has the ID
651 (stepping 1).
I read on the intel website, that it is not recommended to use two
different cpu steppings is a dual processor system. Since I can now only

buy steppings 2 and 3 (652, 653),
I may have a problem.

Does anyone have any experiences in running a mixed processor stepping,
dual processor configuration, with or without the Asus P2B-D board and
Windows NT 4.0?

Please let me know,
Best regards,

Robin Stevenhagen
