    Hi all,

    We have a single P-III 1ghz (coppermine) in our office server. We just
    aquired a very nice Dual P-III motherboard. If we can find another 1ghz CPU,
    I'd like to move it over to that board. Two questions:

    1. Is it true the tho CPUs have to be pair/couple that matches in some or
    other way? I have read something to that effect, but it was not clear which
    CPUs have this requirement.

    2. How big an operation is it to move linux from a single to dual CPU setup?
    The OS is SUSE 9.1 Pro, installed with default kernel. Would simply removing
    the current kernel and installing the smp one?

    Thanks
