I know w/ dual CPU configuration motherboard, such as the Asus Z9PE D8, that c/w 2 x CPU, say:
CPU 0
CPU 1
that if CPU 1 fail, CPU 0 will continue to function, as CPU 1 is actually the slave component of the SMP, and CPU 0 is actually the master CPU
So in the old days if CPU 0 fail however, then you are finish even though CPU 1 is fully functional, because CPU 0 dictates CPU 1.
Now, did things change recently? i.e., if your CPU 0 fail, does CPU 1 continue to function and you just got a slower performance but still a functionable PC?
