A method and system for using processor compatibility information to select a compatible processor for addition to a multiprocessor computer. A software program is executed on the multiprocessor computer to determine the number of current processors in the multiprocessor computer and the revision number of each processor. A software program that compares the revision numbers of the current processors with processor compatibility information is then executed to determine the revision numbers of processors that are compatible with all current processors.
