I don't have a quad CPU machine, but my 7600 when upgraded to a dual 200MHz
board had similar trouble. It has trouble booting Linux if I have all of
the memory I have in it, or in the wrong places. However, the MacOS can
use both CPUs fine with any configuration I try. I have no PCI cards in
this machine, so that isn't the problem for me. Incidentally, the DIMMS
I have to remove are the ones Apple shipped in it.
