Scott,
The processors in question are Xeon 3.06 GHz 533 MHz FSB, 512 Mb L2, eSpec SL6VP.
From
http://download.intel.com/design/Xeon/d ... 213506.pdf , section 2.5.1, "Mixing Processors":
"Intel only supports those processor combinations operating with the same front side bus frequency, core frequency, VID settings, and cache sizes. Not all operating systems can support multiple processors with mixed frequencies. Intel does not support or validate operation of processors with different cache sizes. Mixing processors of different steppings but the same model (as per CPUID instruction) is supported, and is outlined in the Intel® Xeon™ Processor Specification Update. Additional details are provided in AP-485, the Intel Processor Identification and the CPUID Instruction application note."Searching the rest of this document and the other documents referenced, there is no specific mention about which stepping goes in which CPU slot. I would assume that if there was an issue or concern with placement, Intel would have posted prominent warnings or advisories.
I'm going to therefore assume that all is well.
Thanks,
Ed
