Thanks to all that sent me email about multi cpu mother boards... One
more question... I've used linux quite a bit with dual CPU systems, but
I'm thinking about a motherboard that supports 4 CPU's... I've heard
rumor that you just don't get a linear increase in computing power when
you go over 2 CPU's... That the task scheduler doesn't make efficent use
of the extra CPU's... Also is it possible to do something like dedicate
a single CPU to just doing filesystem I/O? That would make using
software RAID almost as fast as using a hardware RAID controller.
