Ok, I got handed a retired server. Its a quad 550Mhz so its isn't insanely grand, but I can now play with SMP. The problem is one of them is failed. The POST screen asks me if I want to continue. It will boot my install CD, but I powered it off cause I wanted to ask a couple questions.
1. Can I run it with a failed processor in socket 3 until I get a fourth?
2. Can I remove the failed processor and just run 3, without installing a 4th?
I was planning on checking ebay and the like to find a 4th, but if anyone has other suggestions, I'm open.
THanks
