Installing 2nd CPU on SMP board

Hello,

I've inherited an SMP machine for which I've no documentation and don't
have convenient access to the hardware itself.  The computer has a
single Xeon 2.8GHz CPU and I'd like to purchase another CPU.  Question
is, can I simply match another Xeon of the same speed and expect it to
work?  If I need more info, will dmesg(8) tell me what I need to know?

Sorry if this is too off-topic for -questions.  Please point me at the
appropriate list if necessary.

Doug
