Hi Ramesh, yes you can provided you remove the terminator in the second slot first. Also you will need to make certain the cpu's are the same speed.

here is a link to all the manuals for the E800 for reference

Hi Ramesh,

As well, the cache size on the CPU's have to be the same, although I don't think you'll have to worry about it.

One thing to consider if you are using a Microsoft OS, if you installed the OS with only 1 CPU, then it will have defaulted to a single processor HAL. To get multiprocessor support in your OS, you will have to update to a Multiprocessor HAL.
