In Windows NT 4.0, multi-processor support required that the Stepping levels on your processors be matched.
Windows 2000 will run with mismatched Stepping levels, though you may experience erratic behavior.
If Windows 2000 detects mismatched CPU Stepping, you receive a System Event log entry similar to:
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Event ID Count Component Message sample ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I 41 32 Application The CPUs in this multiprocessor system are Popup not all the same revision level. To use all processors the operating system restricts itself to the features of the least capable processor in the system. Should problems occur with this system, contact the CPU manufacturer to see if this mix of processors is supported.
