Default 1 cpu on dual opteron mobo?

Can a computer run with a dual opteron mobo, and only 1 cpu on it? Or does
it actually need 2 cpu's to work?

Thanks,
Robin

If it does work, would that be with a 2xx cpu, or 1xx cpu? Or both?

I think you can use both, at least that is what the manual says - and that
is with any of them

PS: but why stop at one :-) when two is better!

1 of either version.

If you add a second, though, they both have to be 2xx or 8xx.
