I recently acquired a Dell Precision 610, dual PIII Xeon

possible, and was wondering what other Seti folks have 
done in the way of speed-boosting, either with cache or 
CPU clock.

Thanks.

I have two similar systems.  

At the time of purchase, only 1 XEON was installed in each 
system.  I added an additional XEON processor (same clock 
speed, same stepping, Dell passive heatsink, ...) to one 
of those systems.  Both processors are detected in the 
BIOS setup.  

I am running Linux on thar box, but Linux will not run in 
dual processor mode.  Also generated a custom kernel for 
dual processor support ... that kernel will not boot.  

Does a hardware diagnostic exist?  Where would I find it?  

Any other troubleshooting suggestions?
