this is a common problem, i had it quit often...
which series are your processors? are they from the same production
bulk? try to equip mp systems with processors from the same
manufacturing series...

from the intel spec update on p-iii:
---
Mixed steppings are only supported with processors that have identical
family and model number as
indicated by the CPUID instruction.
---
this can be found at
http://support.intel.com/design/pentiumiii/specupdt/
information about the codes printed on the processors is also in that
document.
