windows nt and adding a 2nd cpu

at work i have this old ibm intelistaion

it has slots for 2 pentium 2 slot a ( i think im not a big intell guy)

theres like a holder card in one

i was wondering can i take a second cpu and just plug it in there with out windows nt going all nutty on me ( reinstall and all that)

do you think if it tired and it didnt work if i took it out it would work fine again


admins:

i tried my best if its in the wrong spot please move it or tell me

Here is an article that addresses what you are trying to do.

never mind to hard

i forgot about the kernnel thing

ill wait till they replace it then ill play around with it when i can load it up with a better os


does linux handel 2 cpus well

yup

PPro, PII, PIII all do SMP and will run under w2k, XPpro & Linux well.

The Windows NT Resource Kit has a utility to upgrade the kernel from single to dual cpu. I've heard mixed reviews about it's effectiveness. I've always just reinstalled the OS. By the way, that card in the second slot is probably a terminator card and the system may not work if you leave it out and don't put a processor in it.
