There are no systems that I'm aware of which allow you to use 2 or more processors of different models; they always have to be exact duplicates. Sometimes different step revisions of the same model will not work -- if Intel makes a Xeon 5254 in March, and fixes things in June, August and November, sometimes the November release won't work perfectly with a chip produced in March. You can always use identically spec'd RAM from different manufacturers in different memory banks, but since it's always possible to power down, replace or just remove memory, and power up again, I don't know that there's any reason to bother distributing the manufacturers in a single machine. -dsr-
