I have not seen any issues with this. Was the processor working in the other system? What exactly do you see listed in the BIOS? Are you sure Windows sees the 2nd processor and it is not seeing the first processor hyper-threaded? Was anything else added/changed/updated?
I am experiencing a similar issue with the second cpu being recognized as a 2.6 vs a 2.4/533fsb. Same issue existed with older bios a08 and newly flashed bios a12. This is pertaining to a 1600sc with factory hardware.
I had moved a drive running Windows 2008 from a dual 2.4 to a dual 2.8 for testing purposes. The bios was seeing the cpu's correctly, but windows saw it as one 2.4 and one 2.8 (actually 2 of eac)
I went into the device manager, uninstalled both 2.4's and renbooted and now windows ees them all as 2.8's

However the "S" spec must be within the range that the bios supports.
Mixing different steppings is not recommeded.
What are the S spec for each CPU?

I recently saw this on a PE1750.
