Dualcore means two cores on one CPU. Quadcore is 4 cores on one CPU. There are not multiple CPUs, unless you start going into specifically multi-processor (SMP) systems. These were popular on higher end PC grade hardware before Dualcores came into existence, but are now redundant. So if you bought a dual-dualcore machine, you may possibly have redundancy (depending on how the board is designed to handle one CPU popping). CPUs don't tend to fry themselves unless something else like the CPU fan has first gone and allowed the CPU to overheat. Worrying about processor redundancy is overkill, IMO. Have a backup machine or a spare motherboard/CPU+fan, or have a good support contract with your hardware vendor. -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz
