I got this statement from http://www.2cpu.com
What about stepping and cache sizes?
There is a myth that in order to run multiple CPU's, they need to be the
same stepping and cache size. This is not true. According to Intel, you must
have the same family of processor, and that's it. In fact,
I beg to differ with you.
I have a Dell PowerEdge Server sitting right next to me. It is running

wouln't recognize both procs.

How do i generate an SMP installation image for LM 8.0 ?
I have a N440BX MB with a Mylex AcceleRaid150 adapter (DAC960PRL). The
DAC960 module does not initialize on a UP kernel on this machine. So I need
to boot a SMP image to do the installation.

SMP stands for Symmetric Multi Processing. It means that two or more CPU's
work together in completing a task. It's not the same as a beowulf cluster,
which means several computers work together; in SMP the multiple processors
are located on the same mainboard.
The processors share the same

If you're running the kernel that installed when you installed mandrake, then
it should have detected an extra processor.
If you have one processor, I don't know whether smp is installed by default.
You can always compile and install your own kernel. See the documentation for
that.

Basic problem is that I have a dual processor PC, SMP kernel but only

I have followed the MUO guide to update my kernel via RPM (symbolic

This was pretty unstable,
