Different CPU Revisions

We have a 2000 server machine here which is posting event id 41 stating that
the cpus are not all of the same revision. After looking in the registry, the
differences I have found are 1: different stepping numbers, 1 says stepping 4
and the other stepping 1.

2: Different processor name string values, 1 says P-III cpu family and the
other says
P-III cpu -S.


What kind of problems can this mismatch cause?

Anything from nothing, to lots of crashing.

You've got to open it up and find out ground truth.

Look at the processors themselves. That the machine works at all
suggests that the processors are very similar.

There should be a code written on the processor. If that code is not
the same on each, than your processors are indeed mismatched. Intel
calls it the sSpec number. See here:
