Do you know about which type of kernal you should use ?? I heard that the Athlon is based on Alpha technology?? would you have to run the Alpha version of Win2000??

I have also had a few problems, But the networking and routing support is far superior to anything else which can run games! does anyone know of problems with slow disk access using an Adaptec 2940UW and IBM 9Gb SCSI disk's ??

I guess your video compression and mp3 compression were running seperate sub-system compilation programs?? In that case 4X CPU's would have rocked !!

In your case the cost of the second processor is definetly justified. But if you just want a speed machine for games - Like I used to when I was young and stupid you won't see a speed increase with dual processors. Hopefully we will see alot more games written on the quake3 engine (as well as some new engines in development)so we do see speed increases on Dual CPU systems. I still believe we need to move onto another generation of the windows operating system before you can realistically mix the use of Dual CPU's and game's - Anyone know anything about windows Millenium edition and SMP???

Just remember that only multi-threaded applications and true multi-tasking environments benefit from multiple processors. I was dissapointed when I got a dual CPU motherboard and found this out. If you are a high end workstation user who has to render or compile while working with other applications you might benefit. If you are a gamer and you play only quake3 all of the time, you might benefit, If not the cost of the Board and the second processor will probably not be justified. I thought it sounded like a great idea until I tried it. If you are a gamer the best thing you could do is spend double the money on a **** hot athlon or one of the new thunderbird processors.

I have an EPoX KP6-BS Dual CPU 440BX motherboard. It has an intel USB controller and get the same type of problem. In device manager I get a message telling me there is not enough BIOS info to start the device. Any help would be appreciated.
