Hi all,
I have a question about the possibility to install on the same system processors having different types: for example is it possible to install on the same system two processors having different frequencies, or different model (that is one is a dual core processor and the other is a single core processor), or belonging to different families. I don't know if it is possible, I think that some configurations are possible while other configurations are unsupported, but I don't know if there are some documented limitations.
Thanks in advance for your time
Regards
Paolo

Of course, it's possible to install. Many people would be deterred by the impossibility of running that way with a stock BIOS.
