Intel recommends that all processors in a MP system be the same speed
and stepping. I would guess there wouldn't be a problem, but I really
don't know.

If security's an issue, I'd recommend one of the BSDs.

ISTR that the PPros are picky about their power and require pretty
strict (+/- 2%) power regulation. My Intel VS440FX MB uses a VCCP (you
got me) power regulator module. Don't know what the Microns use(d). If
you find out, drop me a note. I've got an old Micron MB that might have
one on it that I would sacrifice "for the cause".
