Hi, John,
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm quite sure that these two cpus aren't
defective. I can use either one alone, in either cpu slot, and the
machine will boot. I did check that they were properly seated in the
slots. The problem doesn't seem to be at the level of the operating
system. With both cpus, the machine doesn't even go into the post. Did
your systems start out with dual 600s? Are they fairly recent
motherboards? Ours is more than two years old, revision 1.04. I'm
beginning to wonder if our hardware is just too old to support dual
600s. OK, thanks,
Hidong
