Ahhh Belgareth I believe you are right.

As of now there is really no sense in buying a dual CPU machine. Yes, Windows XP supports it as of now but linux/unix has been supporting it for ages. In most cases the dual system will not prove to be anymore successful in any of the operations you perform on your computer. Just about all of the software today is not written for dual machines. In that case many of the dual cpu mobo\'s use slightly older chips (AMD Athlon etc...) and one only one cpu would be in constant use.

There are some aspects of pc\'ing that are built and work better under dual cpus, like video editing, number crunching, and CAD (3d stuff).

When I worked for KaZaA I went all out on my system like a total dumb ass, after I realized that they sold the company, I was in the near of buying the last of my computer parts. I think it came to a total of ($1200-$1500) (monitor not counted). I had to sell all of my parts and build a cheaper system.

So as of now it\'s a
Pentium 4 socket 423 (I think) 1.51 GHZ (1500mhz)
2 slabs of 128 RDRAM(rare now) which is 256 RD-RAM
Geforce 2 TNT Riva 32 mb on board memory (still works)
2 13-15 gig hard drives IBM and Samsung
MSI 845 Pro Motherboard
300 watt powersupply (generic)
PC cards Diamond soundcard/ethernet/56k/
6 fans
Minion case with a self made window and a pretty green light [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
and other boring stuff....................


After I sold all of my top of the line parts (at that time) I just assembled alot of used parts, but it works really well, still very loud even with the sound proofing.
