MORE INFORMATION

This configuration, in accordance with the Intel SMP 1.0 specification, requires that the second Pentium chip be designed to be used as a second processor. You cannot use two primary Pentium chips. If you purchased the computer with only one Pentium chip and you plan to obtain a second processor, check with the manufacturer for availability. If you have the two Pentium chips properly installed, the BIOS reports "Number of processors 2" when you start the computer.

This configuration also requires an Award BIOS revision level 0303 or later. Check the CMOS setup to determine your version.
