I have a server that has a dual processor mother board, but only hase one installed. I am running Windows 2000 Server and would like to add a processor. If I add another processor that is an exact match to the original, will Windows 2000 know that a processor has been added? Will I need to reinstall? Hardware is a Compaq Proliant 1600 with a PIII 450.
