I didn't find anything explicit on athlons, but after searching a little further I found out the above statement of mine is not true. It seems the first references I found on the subject are not entirely accurate. Intel only advices people to use cpu's with identical steppings if possible, since this are the only combinations they test, but also state it should be possible to use cpu's with different steppings (see http://www.intel.com/support/processors/pentiumiii/intnotes.htm##Mixed%20Pro cessor%20Steppings). If somebody has such a reference about athlon dual systems please send it back. Bye, Leonard. -- How clean is a war when you shoot around nukelar waste? Stop the use of depleted uranium ammo!
