You want the stepping to be the same. You may not be happy with P III's. I'm not sure if the SMP code has been changed to handle only the xAPIC now, or not; there was a discussion a little while back about supporting more than 16 CPUs in a machine, which would require this change. I know that my Dual P90 machine has been unable to run -current for quite some time due to some changes that went in to the low level mp_machdep code.
