Hi Karen,

What type of motherboard/processor is this? With some you can use a "dummy" CPU in place of one of the slots and use just one processor.

In the manual for the board it says:
Quote:
Intel Pentium III FC-PGA processor (500 MHz through 1 GHz) or a single FC-PGA type Celeron processor can be used on this board.
And the supported CPU list it shows the same thing, you can only use a single Celeron with this board.

Hope that helps.
