How do you define a "matched pair" for dual CPU configurations? Consecutive serial numbers, or just the same s-spec?
In the past when I have purchased Intel CPUs advertised online as a "matched pair", they always came with consecutive serial numbers. The dual PII Dell system I bought long ago also had consecutive serial numbers for the CPUs. However, recently I've seen several eBay listings describing a pair of CPUs as a "matched pair" just as long as they have the same s-spec. What is your take on this?
