    Chris, I understand the theory of dual-CPU systems, but in practice, how's the dual-CPU setup doing with development tasks? Worth it?

      Dual PIII 1GHz, 1G RDRAM, 64M GeForce3, 2 70G hot-swap SCSI160 HDD, hot-swap power-supplies, NEC 21" monitor, NT4. It's not that great - the monitor has a conniption every 4 hours or so and forgets to place the image in the middle of the screen.

                i'm not sure it improves the build process by itself (i don't know if the compiler is multi-threaded at all, or enough to matter), but i can easily build and surf at the same time with no lag! -c

                          Sometimes you catch interesting bugs in multithreaded code ... I have seen that multithreaded bugs tend to showup faster on multi-processor machines. :) Thomas
