I have a 5500 with 1 x Pentium Pro 200 installed.

I have some other processors and have checked out the requirements as regard stepping and cache.

The 5500 has to Processor boards, above the only currently installed processor on one of the boards is what looks like a power supply board for the processor, the other processor socket ant second board don't have this board installed above the socket. If I install 3 more Pentium Pro 200s do I also need to install 3 of these bords for the system to work correctly?

You need a voltage regulator module (VRM) for each CPU.

Usually available on eBay for a few dollars.
