You can run 2/4/8 cpus with mixmatched caches BUT all cpus will only
utilize as much cache as the smallest cpu has. Just like you described.

This rule should be valid with whole x86 family to date. Not all
"stepping codes" are compatable tho (you can always check intels site)


If I had your system I would watch ebay for pentium 2 overdrives.
