Not exactly. Here is solution:
Boot the system with the Compaq System Configuration disks. Press
CTRL-A at the main menu to get into the advanced mode. Select
"Configure hardware" from the menus. Then select "View and edit details".
Scroll down to the "Advanced features" section and set the processor
APIC mode to "Full Table". Save the new hardware configuration to
CMOS. Reboot the system.
