When you installed the second processor, did you do a repair install?If
not, you may be running the wrong HAL.
You do not need to perform a repair installation when adding a 2nd cpu.
I've added second cpu's to several servers and in the ones I worked on, the
2nd CPU was not recognized by the OS...
However ===>
The CPU is upgraded in the same fashion that one would install new drivers
for any hardware.
Just go into device manager and under "Computer" ...if only one CPU is
detected you'll see something like:
ACPI uniprocessor...
Then simply upgrade the driver to ACPI multiprocessor (or whatever is
appropriate) and reboot...
both CPU's should be picked up...and no need to perform a repair
installation.
Now in the case of the original post...what it looks like to me is that both
the CPU's are *in fact* different...
even though they may be marked the same...
I guess I'd talk to the vendor and get a replacement for one or the other.
I know at one time some CPU's with higher specs were labeled as lesser CPU's
simply due to manufacturing capabilities
and/or availability at the time
.
