Jim, Then agin, what operating system is Mikey D going use? I suppose W2k but the consumer version of that is off in the distance. There is even another version of W9x due in May. Does Linux ssupport multiprocessors? I think so... I don't know about Linux (I also think that it does), but WindowME will not support SMP. If you want SMP (from MSFT) you'll need NT or W2k. -Scot

I think W2K is the replacement of NT. Dual works well with NT so I think Intel may have something here. However, I though eMachine are for home use and Windows Millennium does not need dual. Like I had said, some people thinks 2 is better than one when one will crap out and one for backup. It is like a single person who buys a car with 4 doors.
