PL1600 dual CPU not supported in WK3 server

[René Bourgonje]

I have 2 Proliants 1600 but the second CPU is not recognized in W2k3. If I install W2K server both the cpu are recognized and run fine. one server is a dual PIII 450 and the other one a dual PIII 550 it is not possible to choose the option for a multiprocessor pc in the hardware manager.

Can somebody help me?

Microsoft claim's that this is a Intel problem.

Windows 2003 does not support dual PII / PIII processor's.

I am also looking for a workaround ...

If i find a way to make it work i will post it here.
