I am beginning to have some issues with the current motherboard in my
system. It is a two processor ASUS P2BDS (yes, and oldie - but it has
treated me well). I would really like to swap motherboards and avoid
building up my system from scratch, but all the boards I ma looking at are
single (uni) processor. If I recall correctly, when Win2000 installs, it
loads a different kernel for SMP systems as compared to single processor
systems. Will the SMP kernel just revert to a "single processor"
configuration? Or will I need to somehow install the uniprocessor kernel?
Undoubtedly there will be a couple of rough edges in terms of doing a
motherboard swap, but is it even possible going from a 2 processor system to
a uniprocessor? Reloading all my software from scratch is just not really
appealing.
Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
