Dear all

Is it possible, on any platform, to have an odd number of multiple processors installed. I know combinations of 2 and four are common but could you have three or seven?

Thanks - all help gratefully received.

Regards

Gareth

Nope.

SMP = symmetrical multi processing.

It must be balanced and each side must be identical to the other or it just wont work.
