Can I install two slightly different CPUs in one system

central-processing-unitdellhardware

I have two slightly different DELL 670 machines. A machine has one Intel Xeon 3.4GHz 800MHz 2MB L2 Cache CPU. B machine has two Intel Xeon 3.0GHz 800MHz 1MB L2 Cache CPUs. I plan to use machine A and take one CPU from machine B to install in machine A. That means in machine A these two CPUs will be slightly different. Is this OK? thanks,

I'd give it about a One-in-a-Million chance of working.

The BIOS will almost certainly recognize the different CPUs and refuse to start with some beep code.
