Hi,
I have noticed a few simlair posts to my question but not quite what
I'm looking for, hope you can shed some light?
Basically, as the subject mentions, I currently have a P3 866Mhz PC. I
have aquired a motherboard with x2 P3 550Mhz CPU's.
Is it worth me swapping all my bits into the dual PC box or should I
just stick with what I have.
Would I notice an increase in performance with the dual PC.
I am using Windows XP home edition.
Hope you can help.
Regards
Paul Roberts. |

Windows Home Edition CANNOT use a two processor motherboard.

I don't think Home will even use more than one CPU.
Even if you were using Pro, I doubt that posting to newsgroups would benefit
at all from multiple processors. >> Stay informed about: single P3 866 versus a Dual P3 550 |
