It's the new WIN-2k, it's made for server

the reference is that P2 or P-pro can't run with dual processor mode using WINdows 2003 SERVER, the topic is pertinent I guess

Two: Wow! That is a serious thing going on there ... Though I have never heard of this problem before ... It should have emerged before, though ... TLB's are quite important, so if they get corrupted, you should actually notice that ... I actually run a dual PII-300 in a Compaq Professional Workstation 5100 at home, and it proves to be very stable, though if I recall correctly, I do have processors of the beforementioned steppings ... I'll check it out if I face the thing (damn firewall recently started blocking the RDP-port ...).
