5805.0. "Enabling SMP after O/S install ?" by ODIXIE::RREEVES () Sat Mar 15 1997 03:27

    I have a Compaq 5000 running Windows-NT Server 3.51 SP5 at a customer
    site without Compaq's HAL. The customer is in the process of purchasing 
    a second CPU for this system to run in a SMP configuration. 
    
    Are there valid reasons to reinstall Windows-NT Server and the 
    Service PAK to support SMP ? Or can the program in the Resource 
    Kit which enables SMP be run with equally "good" results ?
    
    Regards,

    I've never seen any evidence that the UPTOMP program in the
    resource kit knows anything about service packs that have been
    installed... i.e. you'll get a bastardized combination of 1CPU SP5
    bits and 2CPU noSP bits.
