Server 2K3 May Not Use Multiple CPU's in some cases

Hmmm... I just came across this little item about 2003 not allowing some systems to run multi cpu.

I'm not sure how the model and stepping translats into which cpu's it effects.

This better not effect the quad Pentium Pro 200 I was going to build one day

Interesting tid-bit; Looks like the problem surfaces on a case-by-case basis.

Yeah unless you know how to turn this

x86 Family 6 Model 1 Stepping X GenuineIntel (where X = 1, 2, 6, 7, or 9)
x86 Family 6 Model 3 Stepping X GenuineIntel (where X = 3 or 4)

into the SL spec.
