Re: "There is no reason that the additional cost of a dual processor infrastructure should exceed $50 (say $10 for the chipset and $40 for the motherboard, fan etc.)." Maybe you should also add in the cost of an OS that supports DUAL processors - such as Windows 2000 - 'cuz Windows 95/98/ME only supports ONE CPU. And don't forget - you then half to add in the cost of BRAND NEW Windows 2000 APPLICATIONS that support DUAL processors !! However, I can hardly wait ! Until AMD has a DUAL CPU platform, the AMDroid mantra is " NOOBODY NEEDS DUAL CPU support". Once AMD has a DUAL CPU platform, the AMDroid mantra will instantly change to "EVERYBODY NEEDS AMD's DUAL CPU platform and Intel's DUAL CPU platform sucks..is too expensive..etc. "
