Judging by Intel's September 2000 specification update, the "cannot
dual" note now applies only to certain 1.0 GHz Pentium III chips in
SECC2 packaging.  However, note 9 ("will not be validated in Dual
Processor applications") applies to lots of different P3 varieties, all
of which have core stepping cA2 and come in FC-PGA packaging.
