HELP: Multi processor sytem. TIA
I'm planning to add a second processor to a Compaq Professional Workstation
5100 (Dual PII) According to Compaq's guide I need to put a heatsink bridge between the 2 processors. Is this necessary? Or just compaq trying to get more money out of me? If so where can I get one and what do I need to look for. TIA |

TIA I'm not familiar with that system, but I suspect the bridge is only to stabilize the two, make whole thing more rigid? I'm assuming it has normal slot-end brackets for CPU cartridge retention, for both slots. If so you could install second CPU and see if it appears mechanically sound. The bridge might be more important to help survive potential shipping damage than for operation later. |
